SEC filings

Stake 1.15B reported shares ≈ 44.7% of shares outstanding — no 13G on file, so an estimate 35/35
Founder Not assessed — whether they founded the company has not been researched Not assessed
Tenure No start date on record, so tenure scores nothing 0/10
Track record Not assessed — their prior companies have not been researched Not assessed
Direction No open-market buys or sales in the last year 5/15
Discipline 2 late Form 4s in 1018 filings 7/10

Nobody has researched this person's career yet, so founder and track record are left out of the score and of the total above.

Score = stake band (35) + founder (15) + tenure (10) + track record (15) + 12-month direction (−10…15) + filing discipline (10). An axis we have not researched is left out of the score and of the total it is shown over. Every input links to a filing or to our own research; the bands are ours.

Reported is every lot on the person's own Forms 3, 4 and 5 — direct and through trusts. Beneficial is the figure stated on the latest Schedule 13D/G cover page, which can exclude shares the person disclaims and include options exercisable within 60 days, so the two are never added together.

Earnings calls

  1. Q2 2026 Jul 29, 2026 Zuckerberg spent his time arguing that Meta's AI spending has stopped being a promise and started being a line item that pays: LLMs inside the ranking systems are lifting engagement and ad performance now, and on top of that he laid out two businesses that do not exist yet — personal agents, and an enterprise business selling APIs, business agents and, if the price is right, raw compute. He said Meta is getting offers for compute at a meaningful premium to what it paid, and that he would still rather sell intelligence than compute because the margin is better. Asked whether Meta could stop training frontier models and build on someone else's open weights, he said no on both capability and dependency grounds, and framed Meta as a full-stack company that has always gone down to its own data centres, chips and low-level software. He closed on the spending itself: a big bet, made deliberately, that he expects to be rewarded. Read the call · 9 quotes →
