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.

AAPL

BUY

He owns it for growth investors. It's not expensive vs. its growth. A terrific company, though facing political pressure and taxation problem from France. The CEO is a polarizing figure, but he'll hold onto it.

DON'T BUY

Twitter makes money through advertising. He would prefer Google or Facebook. The risk is that Twitter could be hurt if Donald Trump is not re-elected.

TOP PICK

Very impressed with the use of Facebook in Asia. Flat for a couple of years due to political noise. 27X PE for a company that is growing 20%+ is pretty cheap. Thinks the stock will continue to move higher and higher. (Analysts’ price target is $235.00)

BUY

Used to own it but he took profits. It’s essentially in a duopoly for digital advertising. There are aspects that they haven’t fully monetized so they could continue to raise earnings. Long term outlook is good, but there are regulatory headwinds.

COMMENT

Has been marking time for a year. People often forget about Instagram. He's not sure that he's all that interested in it.

TOP PICK

Secular growth story. Great long-term hold, despite current issues. Advertisers will continue to pay more. 20 consecutive quarters of positive earnings surprises. PEG ratio of only 1.1. Not expensive. Favourite FANG stock. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $235.00)

BUY

Their business model looks resilient and they dominate their space. Earnings for next year of $9 per share compare to $6.50 this year. Regulatory issues are an overhang, but their relative price performance compared to the market continues to improve. He bought the stock.

TOP PICK

It is going to be growing its revenues over 20% next year. The multiple is only 21 times next year's earnings. (Analysts’ price target is $235.00)

COMMENT

Fairly valued. Concern is the regulatory risk. A lot of things going wrong. Data breaches, systemic company problems caused them to sell. For valuation and growth, there are worse names to own.

COMMENT

The core business continues to thrive, generating tons of cash. But cash generates has declined in recent years, because of capex spending post-the 2016 US election. The problem is people feel FB has lied or is dishonest, and this is harder to overcome.

DON'T BUY

He does not own this one. It is not the most expensive growth stock at 24 times earnings. They have some competitive threats and their political ad policy is coming under fire. It is a middle performer so he would not be a buyer today.

DON'T BUY

He would avoid FB, selling out a year ago. Just too many accusations about management integrity. Multiples have come down, but he would still avoid it. Elizabeth Warren is gunning against Zuckerberg -- not good.

TOP PICK

They're growing. Despite regulatory headwinds, people want them. Real growth engine is Instagram. Growing into their valuation of 22x earnings. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $231.24)

DON'T BUY

Despite the fact that numbers may look good, the ethics of the firm and future liabilities of congress hearing is a risk. He would avoid it right now.

DON'T BUY

It got really badly punished about a month ago. There was a big rotation. It is looking a little more attractive right now but as these things become political, he shies away from them.
