Teal LindeSideways channel since 2022. The 200-day MA is flat, and the price is below it. Trading ~14x forward PE for 10-15% growth, so valuation's not the concern. Weak holiday sales, plus slowdown in North America. Focus on international markets hasn't been great, as margins are weaker. Ad prices on the platform are falling.
Look elsewhere.

Growth rates are impressive, with expectations for mid-teens EPS growth. Well over 500M monthly active users (400M outside NA, which is interesting). A social platform, which all have taken over the world. Big competition, but a lucrative area. Reasonable multiple.
No strong opinion against taking a position. However, wonders how wide their standalone moat is. He'd prefer something like META, which has Instagram as part of a much bigger organization.
Premium contentThe pin-board style social media platform has seen a 17% increase in quarterly revenues, an 11% increase in monthly users, and says Gen Z now make up the largest user segment -- thanks to its creative use of AI. It trades at 17x earnings and supports a 48% ROE. The company is prudently using some cash reserves to buy back shares. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $30, looking to achieve $43 -- upside potential of 18%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $43.15)It has been around a long time but many people don't realize that 2 1/2 years ago new management came in and really changed things. They improved the site and are using AI to make both the content and ads more relevant to the users. In the last quarter it had 16% revenue growth and the number of users was up 10% year over year and is accelerating. Ads are increasing too. It also raised guidance. Trades at less than 19 X earnings.

Likes the product. Concern is one of scale. How much bigger can it be, and how compelling is the product? Likes the cyclical aspect of increased ad revenues. Better ways to get access to those revenues, such as Google or a media content library owner.
