Meta Platforms, Inc. (META)

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. 

Drawdown due to spending on AI. Tons of cash, and the winners will be those who can afford to spend across all 9 innings. Core holding in his global growth fund.

Loves it. Disappointed up only 10%, had been up more. Part of the AI hysteria/panic going on. Makes no sense for one of the most dominant, profitable companies in the world run by one of the world's most innovative business people. Trading at less than 19x PE, less than market multiple but growing at 10x the market.

Spending a lot of $$, but can afford it. At risk if it doesn't make these investments.

Hard to be bearish on it over the longer term. Ubiquitous in people's lives. Nothing against it, but you have to pick your spots in the Mag 7 and he owns GOOG and MSFT.

Loves it. Big swings give her a chance to add. Beneficiary of AI on monetization (as opposed to infrastructure) through advertising. Last quarter, revenue grew ~24% YOY -- impressive. Tells her that AI investments already translating into real dollars. Revenue growth of 20% still expected this year.

Fundamental ranking of 9/10, analysts rate it Buy or Outperform and see 35% upside from here.

His preference in the digital ad space is GOOG, but he likes this name. Unique platform, generates a lot of value. Massive user base allows it to monetize quite well.

Loves it. Big differentiator is that they actually use data services and computational power for themselves. Good runway to analysts' price target. Definitely pick up 1/3 here, another ~$635, and again at $605.

Is up only 1% the past year, but has the cheapest PE of the Mag 7 and is a cash-flow machine. A lot of the AI is not priced in, but are investing heavily in AI. They are sharp people. He bought this on a pullback.

Still one of the best ways to play AI, seeing the evidence in its revenues. Guiding to 30+% revenue growth next quarter. Curated ads via AI are working. Core business is doing so well. Reasonable valuation.

They reported today a big top and bottom line beat and though they will spend big on capex, manager is confident it can still grow operating income. Shares are up after hours.

It reports this week. It fell 11% the last time it reported and is -16% since August's highs. Is selling under 23x PE, cheap, but to turn around it needs a new catalyst. He expects them to report great numbers, especially their core ad business. But last time they reported strong numbers and it didn't matter, because Wall Street only cared that they raised their capex to fund a massive data centre build-out--which crushed the stock. So, when they report, the big question is, How much are they spending? Meta needs to show how their AI spending is paying off?
