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.

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.

BUY

FB is good warning about earnings, though he thinks their next report will be fine. His target is $230, so he sees a long runway. FB is not expensive. 1.38 is its PEG ratio.

WATCH

Anti-trust resolved? He likes the company, but acknowledges the regulatory issues will not go away. It has such a massive user base, so it will continue to exist. He thinks Instagram is doing a better job integrating going from photos to a business store front. FB-Q is still a good company, but it will take a long time to resolve the issues.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 24/18, Up 13%) He got stopped out of them. The anti-trust and controversy issues give him pause. They have loads of cash and are stupidly profitable though. He would buy them back if FB set new highs. He's done that before.

BUY

Society asked for AI and ease of access, the very things that Facebook, Google, etc. offer. Some like what Facebook are doing and some don't, but there are a lot of people who still like what Facebook is doing. This runs against the "evil empire" image that the media paints. Facebook isn't going away., though it will evolve. Look at what happened to Microsoft a generation ago.

BUY

People love it and use it. Still buying it here, incredibly cheap. And they haven't even begun to monetize Instagram yet. Mark Zuckerberg is a great operator and CEO. Undervalued. So many tailwinds.

COMMENT

Facebook vs Alphabet? He definitely prefers Alphabet as it is the dominate player in the online advertising space. It trades at only 20 times earnings and growing at 20% per year. A company of this stature with no debt and lots of cash. They will be buying back stock.

WEAK BUY

The stock that has been performing better than other FAANG stocks and has come back up to where they were before December. Risky, so if you double your money, sell half. If the market corrects, this could go down more than the general market.

TOP PICK

A core holding for him. It has come through tough times this year. He thinks it is headed to $250 per share next year. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $230.73)
