Meta Platforms Inc (META-Q), commonly known as Facebook, has faced volatility but shows promising fundamentals according to analysts. Many believe the stock is currently fairly valued, trading at around 20-25x forward PE, which seems reasonable given its earnings growth and the massive cash reserves of approximately $77 billion. Although concerns persist regarding potential impacts from ad slowdowns due to economic conditions and competition in AI from rivals, experts highlight Meta's strong market position and ability to monetize AI effectively. The recent dividend increase and substantial share buybacks also signal confidence in the company's financial stability. Overall, the sentiment leans towards a cautiously optimistic outlook for long-term investors who can navigate current market uncertainty.

They report Wednesday. Many are worried about their ad business, but he isn't.

BUY

It appears to have little exposure to tariffs, because they sell advertising, but this could be a target of EU tariff retaliation or if the trade war leads to recession. Is -30% from highs, and these fears are baked into the stock. Trades under only 20x PE.

COMMENT

It's a pure ad play and ads struggle in a slowdown. He worries about its AI platform--others are better.

The stock has made a bit of a 'round trip' from its recent highs but considering its strength, market share, financial position and growth, at 23X earnings (with $77B cash) we think it is buyable for investors who can look beyond the current market volatility (which will end, one day).

He likes Meta here, is fairly priced, despite the overall selling in tech in recent weeks. 

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 13/24, Up 17%)

Trades around 23x PE with a strong growth rate. One in two humans interact with a Meta product everyday. An excellent place to be.

Shares are washed out from this correction.

PARTIAL SELL

Generally, big tech are good companies, but have lost ground recently and their valuations have been nosebleeds for a long time. Meta is basically Facebook; he can message his mother in New Zealand cheaply, but fundamentally what will it do for him? Is it a sustainable business model. It's too early to say which of these names is a buy the dip, buy you could trim or take some names off the table.

BUY

It continues its record rally today. Last night, they increased their dividend by 5%. It's the cheapest Mag 7 in PE and have delivered strong. They've bought back $44 billion of shares in the past year. Massive free cash flow. He hopes there's a stock split.

TRADE

Of the Mag 7, he likes this, but it's tough to buy at currently high levels. For an options trade: sell that $650 put (almost 10% downside) into May, then collect $21.50, which is a large premium, but huge downside protection.

BUY
Is the only Mag 7 stock that rose after earnings.

Their earnings growth + PE was the most reasonable last year and entering this. Earnings continue to grow and are controlling spending. Is the best of the Mag 7.

BUY

Owns it but has been totally wrong in not owning it in excess. Even after this run, it remains the cheapest Mag 7 stock at 25x forward PE and the only with good relative strength.

BUY
Is the only Mag 7 stock that rose after earnings.

Meta has executed the best of the Mag 7. The market forgives them even for expanding their capex.

BUY

DeepSeek was a wake-up call that Meta is spending heavily in open-source. She expects an ROI here. Meta is an ad company and can monetize AI quickly as opposed to Google and the other Mag 7 that are questionable.

BUY

Reported after the bell top and bottom line beats and tremendous free cash flow, plus a conservative outlook. Considering the strength of this past quarter, it's fine to look past that soft outlook.
