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.

COMMENT

Holding cash, now what? It is difficult not knowing what the investor's needs are. You really should partner with a professional. Consider taking a wider portfolio approach. Longer term, he likes FB and GOOG. A sector that will benefit over the next decade.

BUY

TFSA? The volatility across markets is extremely high right now. Over the next 12 months, he is liking the risk-return prospects now. The market could still go lower from here. Don't max out your investments now, begin in pieces. FB, GOOG and AAPL are good places to begin.

BUY

In times like this, look at areas that have been completely smashed. You also want to own the best companies in the world that have sold off with the market. Stock's still growing at a decent clip, 8%. Still a disruptor.

WAIT

Talked about launching Libra, an interesting form of cryptocurrency. Washington read them the riot act on it, so institutions that were interested backed away. A great business, benefiting from online advertising. He prefers Google. Had a pretty good run, so hold off on buying. Good, solid free cashflow and business.

TOP PICK

One of his favourite names in the FANG space. 90% of revenues from advertising. 32% growth rate in the last 5 years. Earnings also growing at 30%. 21 consecutive quarters of positive earnings. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $246.52)

COMMENT

$195 is the first line he'd like at--will FB stay above it? $170 is the next line. If this goes sideways at $195, then enter it. The other level is $160, so if it falls below that, then sell.

HOLD

He thinks now is the time to consider setting an upward target -- his is $248. You could buy it here. There expense growth has been exceeding their revenue growth, which was in line with expectations due to privacy requirements. As an election year, he expects some big advertising revenues. A hold for now.

TOP PICK

He owns all the big tech names. Loves Facebook and sees no other app dethroning it. Their services (Instagram and Whatsapp) are amazing, and there's tons of monetization to come, especially in Whatsapp. ROI for ads on Facebook and Instagram are among the highest in the industry. (Analysts’ price target is $245.67)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It just fell to $205, his correction target. Unfortunately, it's broken below that, so support is now $190. If it holds that level, he still likes FB and would add to it. He likes to see new all-time highs, which is what happened to FB.

DON'T BUY

Their driver is advertising. With economic slowdown advertising is the first thing to get hit, so he could see it sliding.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 06/19, Up 31%) They beat on revenues and earnings today, but not good enough for the street. Don't get caught up on one day's reaction (FB is selling off after hours). True, costs rose, but they're doing that to combat fake posts, something the street urges them to do, yet the street is punishing them. That's incredible and nonsensical. FB remains a huge holding of his and he's happy to hang on.

DON'T BUY

He likes tech, but once you get into content, it gets risky (regulatory risk), unlike Amazon and Apple.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It's nicely recovered, but is no longer cheap. Valuation is too high for her. She'd rather buy Alphabet. Regulatory issues will remain an overhang that'll be ongoing. They are spending more, too, which compresses their margins. Maybe buy on a pullback.

DON'T BUY

A year from now? Data is being weaponized and FB is in the middle. FB faces a lot of heat in the coming years. True, it may amount to nothing, maybe no regulation against FB. Whatsapp and Instagram are capturing users, though. Also, FB doesn't pay a dividend. FB has had a good run. Maybe Washington will break up FB, so then you can buy Whatsapp and Instagram separately, which would be a good play.

TOP PICK

After a steep pullback in the past year or two, it's now breaking out. They really beat their Q1 revenue and profit as expenses slowed. User growth, too. Revenue is up 28%. They continue to attract advertisers. He sees 33% EPS growth, trading at 20x in 2021 from 23x 2020. Has a lot of room to grow. (Analysts’ price target is $236.94)
