TOP PICK

Valuable assets. Monetization still to come. Good cashflow growth over next several years. Gains a lot of benefit from advertising. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $384.17)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 26/20, Up 43%) Excited about what it's doing on e-commerce in India and Brazil. Ad money keeps rolling in, with lots of room to run.

TOP PICK

Has owned this for a long time. Now trading at record highs. During the pandemic, FB's valuation made up ground vs. other FAANGs. They now trade at a reasonable multiple, a 20% premium to the market, but are growing at a much, much faster rate than this general market--he sees 25% top and bottom growth for FB. Boasts 2.8 billion active monthly users. People love FB, not politicians, so this regulatory overhang has capped the multiple. He's not worried about regulators. (Analysts’ price target is $382.92)

BUY

In-out strategy, selling, buying then selling at $290? You're being too cute. FB has a lot of momentum, driven by user-generated content. Buy and hold this.

BUY

FB vs. GOOG He's comfortable owning both. GOOG has a wider array of businesses, and so is a bit more secure. But FB is aggressively expanding into marketplace and crypto. Both great holdings that can do extremely well for the next 5-10 years. Pick whichever one tickles your fancy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 09/20, Up 25%) Giant in the social media space. 24x forward earnings, 23% earnings growth rate. Expects 20% revenue growth over the next few years. Largest audience for social network advertisers. Will continue to be strong on a secular basis long-term.

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.
