Meta Platforms, Inc. (META)

They just reported. He didn't like to hear that they raised capex by 10%. Then again, they had the fastest revenue growth in 5 years, so maybe they should spend, though he'd like more justification on that spend. Revenues are up 30%.

His choice among the Mag 7 because of where it's trading. Fell on eye-popping AI concerns and legal challenges. Whole tech sector swooned. Cut workforce 10%, scrapped plans to hire. 

He is concerned about the lawsuits, but it's something they'll have to get through and write some really big cheques. Like tobacco. Already priced into the stock.

Leadership is smart. Capex is high, but bolstering position in AI. Trades ~17x PE  and growing 17%. Yield is 0.32%.

Trades inexpensively ~21x PE, around market multiple. Yet growth rate is considerable. The low multiple allows the stock to absorb any potential disappointment.

He just bought shares after being underweight this name. Tech hit a bottom last Monday with peak pessimism, and started to rebound last Monday. He'd like Meta to walk back capex at earnings. Has good momentum.

Trades at only 16x future earnings. Meta go hit so hard recently, but today they announced a deal with Broadcom. A fantastic stock.

Lawsuits take many years. They are a dominant platform that executes. Is watching it. He nearly bought it a few days ago. Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram--it's a cash-flow machine and likes it. He will buy this at the right entry point and hold it.

They just lost two lawsuits in New Mexico and California concerning social media addiction. In his experience, it's more likely that state cases get overturned on a federal court. The sell-offs about these suits are a buying opportunity.

Trades at 16x PE, so cheap, growing at 26% revenues and 20% earnings. Because of AI, Meta raised guidance for both numbers already. She may add at these levels.

He got stopped out of Meta. In late 2024, he bought at $560, $610 and $620, added more in April 2025 at $510, and most of his position was called away last August at $730 (before it rose higher), then trimmed late December at $656, in January at $616 and was stopped yesterday at $550. He made money instead of holding and losing 5%.

Is already overweight this name, which is -20% this year. Their business set has gone from cap-lite to cap-heavy. The market is digesting this and waiting to see what will be monetized, which they are starting to. If you don't own, this is a great time to look at it.

She actually added to it. Seeing a reaction to headlines, not a change in the core business. Market's repricing risk, especially around regulations. Historically, has adapted every time there's a challenge.

Recent court judgement reflects standards that need to be set, no long-term impact on stock price.

Her price target is $860, upside potential of 57%. Ranks 9/10.

It trades at 20x PE, and generates huge free cash flow. It's a catch-22: social media addiction drives these numbers but parents need to do a better job to keep their kids off social media, which also allows society to communicate freely.

Downside risk is likely $600, but is more likely to bounce. Today announced it will delay rolling out its AI. Is not surprised. Delays happens alot in tech. He owns a full position, but otherwise would add more now.

Keeps all the cloud storage for itself (though could be a potential funding source if that was opened up). Funding data centre buildout is through advertising. Market liked earnings last month. Lots more room to run on AI. Pulled back since then, a buying opportunity.
