This summary was created by AI, based on 5 opinions in the last 12 months.

Meta Platforms, Inc. (META-Q) has shown strong performance in its recent earnings report, beating estimates with earnings per share (EPS) of $8.88 and revenue of $59.89 billion. However, the stock faced volatility, experiencing a significant drop of 11.33% following an announcement by CEO Mark Zuckerberg regarding increased capital expenditures aimed at enhancing AI infrastructure. Despite initially surging by 10% after the favorable earnings report, shares have been trailing downward, confusing investors. Analysts remain cautiously optimistic, forecasting lower earnings and revenues in the upcoming quarter while social media mentions have seen a substantial increase of 319% in the past 24 hours, pointing to heightened interest in the stock.

NFLX,NASDAQ

TOP PICK

Trades at 20x free cashflow. Growing user base. Underlevered, as they haven't monetized all that they can. Great balance sheet. Data they collect is incredibly valuable, especially for strategic advertising. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $384.57)

BUY

Caller was asking about selling Apple stocks for something else. Bought Facebook based on outlook for advertising. As economies begin to normalize, there will be increased ad spending. Could sell Apple shares to buy Facebook. You could own Berkshire Hathaway as a proxy to owning Apple.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 06/20, Up 51%) 12-month price target of $379. Firing on all cylinders, but still has a lot of places they can monetize. A bit controversial, but still a 45% increase in ads Y/Y. Good long runway.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 21/21, Up 19.1%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with FB has achieved its $325 target. To be disciplined, we are recommending covering 50% of the position and trailing up the stop (from $210) to $275 -- just above the original recommended buy level. This would all but guarantee a minimum investment return of 10%.

BUY

As he predicted, FB delivered super numbers after the bell today, because of a resurgent online ad business.

DON'T BUY

Advertising space has been quite lucrative. Facebook has done well with this. There are a number of good things going for FB. The long term issue is the regulatory pressure on big tech. There are also lawsuits underway. There is also a tax issue and if it has to pay 10-15% more tax, there will be issues with the stock price.

BUY

It reports Wednesday and could report a blowout, judging by Snap's strong report yesterday. He expects them to knock it out of the park to all-time highs.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 12/20, Up 49%) Of the megacap tech stocks, this is the cheapest at 25x earning with growth around 10-15%. Has a great base. The controversy will continue, but Democrats and Republicans hate FB for opposite reasons--which is the sweet spot.

BUY

Facebook is trading at 27x earnings despite fast growth. It's now one the cheapest growth stocks around. It's where advertisers go.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 04/20, Up 46%) Controversial holding. People like that it's moving into virtual reality. Demand for ads, partnership with Shopify are pluses. Still reasonably priced.

BUY

It enjoyed a couple positive research reports. CEO Zuckerberg faced Congress last week which he considered a confused hearing about regulating social media. No surprise that some analysts wrote positively about FB, because this Congress likely won't do anything about social media. Also, FB's growth is accelerating, selling at 21.6x 2022's earnings, cheaper than any consumer product stock he follows.

BUY

CAD is fairly valued here. Loves the FANG stocks. Super highly cash generative businesses. Super high ROIC. Not really that expensive. FB and GOOG trade at 24-28x forward earnings, when the market's at 22x. No matter what your outlook on the CAD is, you could be buying these names.

TOP PICK

Trades at 26x earnings. Strong user base. Under levered. Instagram can still be monetized. Lots of free cash. Sees great growth in revenue produced per user in Europe and underdeveloped areas of the world, which will benefit free cashflow. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $335.11)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 27/20, Up 40%) Still really likes it, though it's gone sideways. Long-term, makes sense. Advertisers love it. Not expensive. Trades at 23x earnings, with a 21% EPS growth rate.

COMMENT

After Trump, users embrace sweet, more civil interaction in their social media, not rage and arguments. Zuckerberg is a great businessman, but FB's lack of moderation has cost him user trust. Winning back that trust is tough. Advertisers will pay more for Pinterest than FB--your ad may appear to ugly politics on FB, but next to a quilt on Pinterest.
