As of Sep 28, 2026. Market Open.
In the last quarterly report they beat on numbers and showed strong revenue growth which it's not getting credit for. How to monetize AI is the big issue but it is showing that it can be productive on the AI side. They are seeing clearly the benefits of AI in their advertising business model. The market had undervalued it but it is now trading at a premium. It still can go up if they can execute well.

One day Google is front of the AI race with Gemini. Now, it's Meta. Next, Anthropic and openAI. What makes Meta different is the AI is purely targeting the consumer. He has a large position and may sell part of it. The CEO is the original founder, which also makes him distinct from its peers. It's near record highs.
They're still generating huge amounts of cash despite all their AI spending. Trades at only 20x PE and down 2% this year after a huge run in 2025. Doesn't know if their paid subscriptions will work or not. But they keep doing things efficiently and ahead of the curve. They get things right without being overly aggressive. Their ad business remains huge.
