Sachin Mittal’s rating is based on Meta Platforms’ impressive financial performance and strategic initiatives. The company reported strong earnings and revenue growth, significantly surpassing market expectations, driven by reduced legal losses and a robust performance from its Reels initiative. Reels has achieved impressive growth in monetization and user engagement, benefiting from AI and machine learning advancements that enhance content recommendation and targeting capabilities.
Additionally, Meta’s investment in AI technologies, particularly the Llama large-language model, has shown exponential growth and is expected to drive further user engagement and advertising efficiency. These factors, combined with the company’s long-term focus on the Metaverse and a favorable profit outlook, justify the Buy rating with an increased target price, reflecting a premium compared to its peers due to higher anticipated growth rates.
In another report released yesterday, CMB International Securities also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $835.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 342 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is positive on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders buying their shares of META in relation to earlier this year.
