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.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 28/19, Up 41%) They're figuring out how to monetize their assets. Target of about $315 over the next year.

BUY

Advertising on this platform remains a bargain for small/medium-sized business. Also, FB has plans to move into its own currency. FAANG stocks have had a tremendous run this year, but he disagrees that they are due to decline. FB will endure.

TOP PICK

They moved past their data privacy issues. It has gotten back on the offensive as an e-commerce power house. It is replacing classified adds. There is a lot of monetization potential across all its platforms. It has great free cash flow. There is lots of value. It will find lots of ways to grow in the future. (Analysts’ price target is $323.17)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 21/19, Up 36%) One of his preferred names in tech. Continues to add positions. It has more usage time than any other social network. It is important for advertisers. Revenue growth is expected to exceed 20%. Trading at 1x PEG, 27x forward earnings. Anti-trust may be a headwind but the split government makes this harder.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 11/19, Up 45%) The outlook for advertising looked bad in the spring but now the revenue estimates have gone back up. It has been a huge comeback. It is still attractive and he considers it a buy.

BUY

It delivered a fine quarterly just last week with decent numbers from its core business plus good performance in its small business initiative, great average monthly users and good growth in Whatsapp. Negative forecasts and margin pressure? He read the report and didn't find those. Yet, FB was punished by clueless investors. This week, especially today, it's bounced back in the election rally.

BUY

He continues to like it here. Digital advertising continues to grow. They are doing a bunch of the right things. Digital animadverting will continue to grow.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 17/19, Up 47%) The stock has done very well. DOJ action does not seem to affect these stocks. These companies are core needs within our society and is the backbone of what we do. In whatever form, these will be successful. Facebook counts 1/3 of the world population as a monthly active user. The fundamentals are also rising so valuations are not getting stretched.

BUY

Several big tech names report next week, but he expects this to be a winner. It popped today. FB is led by Instagram Shops, a brilliant idea to help small businesses operate online.

BUY

Loves their shops initiative (Facebook Store) which boosts small and medium businesses. The heat from Washington has come down on FB since FB became an e-commerce facilitator.

TOP PICK

Likes the deal with Reliance, the cell phone operator in India. Will drive further revenue growth. Moving full-on with e-commerce in India. Will provide attractive mediums for businesses to attract consumers. Great long-term hold. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $288.00)

WAIT

Number 2 or 3 name in his portfolio, next to Microsoft. People are moving more online with Instagram, etc. Growing advertiser base. Shares are extended, as they hit an all-time high today. Wait a bit, or take just a small position now. 33x earnings, 23% long term growth rate. Great value. Strong double digit revenue growth rate.

BUY

One of his biggest holdings and he sees more upside. When business recovers, this will be a big beneficiary. The threat of anti-trust action by Washington is real, however, it's politically easy to target big tech companies making money. Likely, Washington will fine these companies that they can easily pay and the politicians will target something else.

BUY

FB has many levers to pull. Their platform is only partially monetized. Small/medium-sized businesses have been adding services in droves; FB could become a commerce website is significant. Their platforms all have massive user bases. The stock isn't technically stretched now. Sure, there are worries over regulation, but regulation would take years to happen. Now at $232 is a great entry point. A pullback is possible, too.

BUY

You haven't missed the boat. You've just given up a bit of opportunity. Concentrate on the future, and less on the past. Continues to like it. Reasonable multiple PEG ratio of 1. Good solid growth. Lots of assets that haven't yet been monitized. FB will change with the privacy regulations.
