This summary was created by AI, based on 7 opinions in the last 12 months.

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 Sep 23/20, Up 33%) Believes a great company even amongst controversy. Great at taking advertising expenditures away from legacy media. Small and medium sized business' who can't afford to advertise on legacy media, switching to Facebook. Will see increasing eCommerce opportunities. Increasingly complex online payment systems will add value. Metaverse will present opportunities as well.

BUY

He's worried as we go into 2022, with tapering by central banks, inflation fear, interest rates going up, highly leveraged companies will struggle. He just owns FB, so go with that instead of smaller names.

BUY

Call buying in AMD, MSFT and Nvidia has been huge, and now we're seeing it with FB. 27,000 of Dec. 31 $360 calls, going 26 cents to $1.50. A lot of activity in these big-cap techs, and they're all looking for an explosive move this week.

WATCH

It's no longer a social media platform. He's wrapping his head around the metaverse--virtual reality and real estate and other applications? It has the potential for the way people will interact with each other. People will spend a lot of time in front a screen (already are). You own FB stock because you believe in the transformation into the metaverse, which is starting only now and will lead to a generational transformation, one hopes.

TOP PICK

Paul Harris, John O'Connel, Stan Wong, and Shane Obata gave positive signals in the past month. Good revenue and no debt. The bad press is keeping prices low. Social media mentions are up 100% for the past 24h.

COMMENT

Facebook not as expensive as was previously. Lots of free cash flow and no debt. Lots of assets(Instagram and WhatsApp). Regulatory issues surrounding company have not been dealt with well. Facebook one of few places to advertise online effectively. Opportunity in eCommerce. Change in management might be necessary. Small business not advertising in newspaper anymore (good for Facebook).

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 23/20, Up 30%) Still likes. Difficult stock to own. The written press loves to hate it. 3B people use it every day. Best mousetrap for small and medium businesses to advertise. Trading cheaply because of the negativity.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 17/21, Down 9.2%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with FB has triggered its stop at $308. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. We will look for better opportunities. Combined with our previous buy recommendation this results in a net investment loss of 3%.

COMMENT

For all things metaverse, take a look at this name or Unity Software instead of RBLX.

BUY

A powerhouse. Ad revenue per user continues to climb. Augmented and virtual reality will continue to drive revenue and earnings growth. Trades at 25x forward earnings, 23-25% growth rate, very good value in the tech space. Executing well.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly FB, now going by the new name of Meta Platforms, is reiterated as a TOP PICK. Despite people's comments regarding their social media operations, the company continues to stand out. It trades at 24x earnings, compared to peers at 79x. Recently reported earnings showed a 57% increase over this year, inline with its 50% annual growth rate of the past five years. It continues to build cash reserves, while it has been buying back stock aggressively. We would recommend trailing up the stop (from $275) to $308, looking to achieve $403 -- upside potential over 18%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $402.29)

DON'T BUY

She owns GOOG instead. Rising rates are a headwind for growth or tech companies. Cashflows are discounted by a certain percentage, and this percentage gets larger when interest rates go up. Regulatory scrutiny will overhang the stock for a while.

TOP PICK

Facing negative press, but the bottom line is this company has some of the best advertising assets on the planet. CEO is a historically good allocator of capital. Look at the Instagram acquisition. Profitability embedded in the core business. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $398.64)

WEAK BUY

Amazon vs. Facebook He owns both. Amazon has a better story a year from now, though both have issues. Online shopping will continue but the end of Covid will slow down; also Amazon's labour issues will rise. The problem with FB is that they're under much more scrutiny. Also, Apple has hurts Facebook in online ads (tracking users on the platform), so Amazon isn't effected. FB is going through a transition. Also, Amazon's cloud business will continue to be strong. Amazon is a better play, though both will do well.

BUY

FB is transforming into the metaverse business, and the market has embraced it so far. It could thrive. Metaverse stocks should do well for the next few months.
