Meta Platforms, Inc. has shown significant performance in its recent earnings report, surpassing both earnings and revenue estimates, which fueled a substantial rise in social media mentions. Despite this initial surge, the stock experienced a notable decline following CEO Mark Zuckerberg's announcement of increased capital expenditures to support AI infrastructure. Analysts remain divided, with some expressing confidence in the company's long-term growth potential, especially related to advertising boosted by AI. Current evaluations suggest that the stock appears reasonably valued in comparison to competitors, with a favorable growth rate relative to its price-earnings ratio, indicating solid market positioning as it navigates the evolving social media landscape.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 12/21, Down 40%) Guidance predicted difficulties going forward. High multiple stock that fell. 16x earnings, below intrinsic value. He'd buy here. EBITDA margins between 45-50%, great balance sheet, lots of cash. Second largest player in digital ads. Lots of chances for monetization. Major headwind is inability to buy anything big. Organic growth is quite nice.

TRADE

It has had issues in the news that have kept the stock price inexpensive - now undervalued. It is spending a lot of money on the Metaverse. He is not adding because he is unsure of the upside. Advertising revenue is very important so limited growth ahead. Also limited because of size.

TOP PICK

Reached a 52-weeks low last month. Slowing growth and pivot to virtual reality is scaring investors. Balance sheet is still great. Good growth potential. Barry Schwartz recently reiterated it as a top pick. Social media mentions are up 116% for the past 24h.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 04/20, Down 3%) It is facing a lot of competition. Growth is slowing to a more normal rate which bothers investors. It is a very good value at 12 or 13 times earnings with a great balance sheet.

DON'T BUY

Meta has been decimated by Apple's policies. And they're in an investing mood, so there's less cash. Also, the consumer is living paycheque to paycheque where costs have outpaced wage raises.

BUY

The tech companies' growth rate has not slowed, but their PEs have been slashed to anticipate a slowdown which hasn't happened yet. E-commerce around the world hasn't happened yet. His portfolio is enjoying the best cash flow ever--the America consumer is on fire like never before. He likes it that people think the world is ending, because this is the time to buy. Zero chance of a recession this year. We're not seeing another dotcom bubble. Meta's cash flows haven't changed at all and he doesn't see that happening. Yet, shares have been crushed by half. Meta is the best example of tech being oversold and being on sale. It offers growth. No slowdown here.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 25/21, Down 36%) He sold it. Troubled times with more than its share of challenges. They were losing share to TikTok. Meta's Reels is trying to catch up. The company changed its name to Meta to transition to the metaverse. They may succeed, but it will take years and cost a lot.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly FB has laid to rest the fear that users are leaving the platform as average daily users has increased to 1.96 billion - yes, that's with a "b". It trades at 14x earnings, compared to peers at 32x and supports a ROE of 29%. It has been very aggressively buying back shares. We recommend setting a stop loss at $165, looking to achieve $315 -- upside potential over 54%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $316.43)

BUY

After the bell, they reported a revenue miss and Q2 revenue guidance was light, but daily active users are up 4% (surprising the street), cut their expense guidance and beat their bottom line. The report surprised.

BUY

He'd buy more, because the valuation is so low. The short-term big risk is the change in the Apple devices that stop Meta from tracking Apple users, which impedes online advertising, which drove Meta's growth ever since it went public. Now, that's being challenged, because Apple has removed the ability. Will this impact their mobile advertising? Meta and Alphabet dominate mobile advertising (he likes both). Watch for their report tomorrow.

DON'T BUY

Regulatory scrutiny. Change in operating system for advertisers has slowed growth, as advertisers look elsewhere. Stay away until you see stabilization in that area. She owns GOOGL instead.

BUY

It's time to retire the FAANG acronym he created years ago. These stocks don't thrive in an environment where rates keep rising, where the market values value stocks. The only ones cheap in terms of valuation relatively to growth rates are Alphabet and Facebook (he owns both).

STRONG BUY

It got punished in Q1 due to a disappointing report, but he expects a strong-half of 2022 for Meta/FB. He is buying this aggressively.

BUY

Now, you need boring, low PE stocks, the opposite of those hurt by inflation, such as Alphabet or Meta. They sell at historically cheap PEs. In healthcare, Eli Lilly is his top pick.

BUY

It's astonishing to see a company as disliked as this, but Meta has over two BILLION users. It keeps releasing new products to engage audiences. It's the #1 ad platform in the world and makes a ton of money. It's now trading at a record-low PE. Changing their name and focus to Meta and the metaverse is a gamble. Also, the CEO is a wild card and Meta faces regulatory pressures. There are some headwinds. But at the end of the day, billions of people use Facebook; in many countries people equate the internet with Facebook. This stock is very, very cheap, because shares have fallen. Meanwhile, revenues and profits keep rolling in. Sometimes buying an unpopular company is a good thing.
