price has increased by nearly 300% since late 2022 and is expected to have considerable upside ahead.Meta Platforms' dominance in social media and its role in AI and the Metaverse should contribute to its growth and profitability.Meta's family of products, including Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram, attract billions of monthly active users, making it the king of social media.Galeanu MihaiMeta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is having a fantastic year. Its stock is up by nearly 300% since the tech wreck bottom. I was ultra-bullish on Meta when its stock crashed to below $100, adding to my position during this remarkably depressed timeframe. Despite the monster run-up, Meta's stock likely has considerable upside ahead.Meta remains the dominant, monopolistic-style force in social media. Meta will likely benefit from increased ad spending as the economy continues improving. The more accessible monetary environment should also provide a constructive tailwind for Meta.Moreover, Meta's leading role in the Metaverse, virtual/augmented reality space, should enable it to leverage the AI effect, allowing Meta's earnings to continue expanding in the future. Meta should continue posting impressive growth and profitability metrics, surpassing analysts' expectations, leading its P/E multiple to grow and its stock price to appreciate considerably in future years.The Technical Blueprint - Excellent RecoveryMETA (StockCharts.com)Meta has clawed back most losses sustained during the tech market's earnings recession. Meta's stock was demolished due to a temporary growth slowdown and an earnings decline phase. However, once all the negative factors washed out, Meta bottomed and surpassed estimates several times after the stock bottomed.Meta's momentum is solid, and its stock should continue outperforming after a brief pullback/consolidation phase. Meta should achieve new ATHs in the new year. Meta also has substantial support around the $300-280 level, making the downside risk minimal. Moreover, if we look out longer term (5-10 years), we see that Meta has substantial potential to increase its stock price severalfold in future years.Meta's Massive Metaverse and AI PotentialMeta should benefit from a unique combination of AI and virtual/augmented reality potential. Meta is pioneering the way in seamless AI-enhanced communication. Moreover, Meta is developing a clever AI-propelled Ego How-to augmented reality video and tutorial system.Meta is spearheading the AI Alliance, an AI collaboration effort with over 50 founding members and collaborators globally, including top AI market-leading companies, prestigious universities, and other organizations.Meta has been one of the most prominent investors and developers of AI and the future platform of computing, the Metaverse. Next year, it will be ten years since the developments at Reality Labs started. These two emerging technologies are Meta's most significant bets for the future and represent enormous revenue and profitability growth opportunities.The mega social media giant has a gigantic platform for marketing its future technologies, products, and services. Many active Internet users globally already utilize one or multiple Meta-owned social networking platforms daily.Reaching potential customers and consumers won't be a problem for Meta. Additionally, we should witness increased efficiency with the advancements in AI and improving ad revenues as Meta makes it more advantageous for companies to reach customers from its platforms.Meta: The King Of All Social MediaWe all end up on Meta sooner or later. Cumulative, Meta's family of \"products\" - Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram - attract nearly 4 billion monthly active users.Cumulative Number of Monthly Meta Product Users (billions)Meta MAUs (Statista.com)Roughly 80% of the MAUs (monthly active users) are daily active persons (DAPs). About 3.14 billion users log into one of Facebook's family platforms daily. Facebook, as a standalone platform, gets a whopping 3.05 billion MAUs. Some critics say Facebook is for \"older people,\" but it looks like we will all end up on Facebook someday.WhatsApp, as a standalone platform, now has about 2 billion MAUs. It seemed like a big deal when Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $16 billion, but it now seems like one of the smartest deals of the last decade.Instagram now gets more than two billion MAUs, and Facebook has done an excellent job monetizing it. About 75% of all active Internet users globally are Facebook-owned service MAUs, and about 49% of the world's entire population uses a Facebook-owned service monthly. These stats are remarkable, considering that people in China don't use Facebook.The Valuation Perspective - Meta is Still CheapConsensus EPS estimates are for $17.32 next year. However, due to the better-than-expected growth atmosphere, higher earnings revisions, improving efficiency, and other factors, Meta could earn around $19 in EPS in 2024. This earnings dynamic implies that Meta may be trading around 18 times forward P/E estimates here.Earnings Estimates Likely to Move HigherEPS growth (SeekingAlpha.com)Moreover, we should continue seeing double-digit EPS growth of about 15-20% or higher in future years. Additionally, Meta could benefit from continued revenue growth. Consensus estimates predict annual sales growth of about 8-10% in the coming years, but Meta's growth could expand by about 10-12% or more. This dynamic implies that Meta's revenues and profitability could improve faster than anticipated, leading to a higher earnings multiple and higher stock price in the coming years.Where Meta's stock could go from here:Year2024202520262027202820292030Revenue Bs$155$175$200$226$253$281$309Revenue growth16%13%14%13%12%11%10%EPS$18.75$21.90$25.85$30.21$35$40$46EPS growth25%17%18%17%16%15%14%Forward P/E20212223222120Stock price$438$543$665$805$880$966$1,050Source: The Financial Prophet.I updated my previous analysis' sales, earnings, valuation, and price target estimates for Meta. While I utilized more robust sales growth estimates in this analysis, I used a more modest EPS growth rate, arriving at roughly the same stock price as my previous analysis. In a more bullish case scenario, Meta may achieve a higher EPS growth rate, enabling its stock to advance higher. Also, Meta could see more rapid multiple expansion. Its forward P/E ratio may rise above the current high of 23, leading to higher price target estimates. Still, in a base case scenario, Meta's stock could achieve a $1,050 price tag before 2030, making it a top stock candidate to buy and hold for the next ten years.The Meta RisksDespite having enormous potential, there are risks with investing in Meta. We could see another economic slowdown, leading to slower sales and lower profitability. We may also see increased competition from Snap Inc. (SNAP) or other social media competitors. Also, the Metaverse or AI may become less of a deal than some think. Meta may play a minor role, taking less market share in the AI/Metaverse emerging industries. There may be efficiency issues and government regulations that could weigh future growth down cutting into earnings in future years. Investors should examine these and other risks before investing in Meta.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0},"commentList":[{"id":254398612189432,"gmtCreate":1703145842660,"gmtModify":1703147385175,"author":{"id":"3585011845632474","authorId":"3585011845632474","name":"Chong5757","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/985512d6201b9adc3b8194721984cc6f","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3585011845632474","authorIdStr":"3585011845632474"},"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/254398612189432","repostId":2393195431,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2393195431","pubTimestamp":1703119500,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2393195431?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-12-21 08:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Meta's Path To Over $1,000","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2393195431","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"$Meta Platforms(META)$, Inc.'s stock price has increased by nearly 300% since late 2022 and is expected to have considerable upside ahead.Meta Platforms' dominance in social media and its role in AI a","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul style=\"\"><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a>, Inc.&#39;s stock price has increased by nearly 300% since late 2022 and is expected to have considerable upside ahead.</li><li>Meta Platforms&#39; dominance in social media and its role in AI and the Metaverse should contribute to its growth and profitability.</li><li>Meta&#39;s family of products, including Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram, attract billions of monthly active users, making it the king of social media.</li></ul><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd6da4c653b5e096db3d8fe743bdc85\" alt=\"Galeanu Mihai\" title=\"Galeanu Mihai\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"388\"/>Galeanu MihaiMeta Platforms, Inc.

This dynamic implies that Meta&#39;s revenues and profitability could improve faster than anticipated, leading to a higher earnings multiple and higher stock price in the coming years.Where Meta&#39;s stock could go from here:<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Year</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2024</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2025</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2026</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2027</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2028</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2029</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2030</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Revenue Bs</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$155</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$175</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$200</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$226</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$253</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$281</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$309</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Revenue growth</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">16%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">13%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">14%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">13%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">12%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">11%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">10%</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">EPS</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$18.75</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$21.90</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$25.85</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$30.21</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$35</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$40</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$46</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">EPS growth</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">25%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">17%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">18%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">17%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">16%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">15%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">14%</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Forward P/E</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">20</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">21</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">22</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">23</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">22</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">21</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">20</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Stock price</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$438</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$543</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$665</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$805</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$880</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$966</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$1,050</td></tr></tbody></table>Source: The Financial Prophet.I updated my previous analysis&#39; sales, earnings, valuation, and price target estimates for Meta. While I utilized more robust sales growth estimates in this analysis, I used a more modest EPS growth rate, arriving at roughly the same stock price as my previous analysis. In a more bullish case scenario, Meta may achieve a higher EPS growth rate, enabling its stock to advance higher. Also, Meta could see more rapid multiple expansion. Its forward P/E ratio may rise above the current high of 23, leading to higher price target estimates. Still, in a base case scenario, Meta&#39;s stock could achieve a $1,050 price tag before 2030, making it a top stock candidate to buy and hold for the next ten years.<h2 id=\"id_3866692967\">The Meta Risks</h2>Despite having enormous potential, there are risks with investing in Meta. We could see another economic slowdown, leading to slower sales and lower profitability. We may also see increased competition from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNAP\">Snap Inc</a>. (SNAP) or other social media competitors. Also, the Metaverse or AI may become less of a deal than some think. Meta may play a minor role, taking less market share in the AI/Metaverse emerging industries. There may be efficiency issues and government regulations that could weigh future growth down cutting into earnings in future years. Investors should examine these and other risks before investing in Meta.</body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Meta should continue posting impressive growth and profitability metrics, surpassing analysts' expectations, leading its P/E multiple to grow and its stock price to appreciate considerably in future years.The Technical Blueprint - Excellent RecoveryMETA (StockCharts.com)Meta has clawed back most losses sustained during the tech market's earnings recession. Meta's stock was demolished due to a temporary growth slowdown and an earnings decline phase. However, once all the negative factors washed out, Meta bottomed and surpassed estimates several times after the stock bottomed.Meta's momentum is solid, and its stock should continue outperforming after a brief pullback/consolidation phase. Meta should achieve new ATHs in the new year. Meta also has substantial support around the $300-280 level, making the downside risk minimal.

About 3.14 billion users log into one of Facebook's family platforms daily. Facebook, as a standalone platform, gets a whopping 3.05 billion MAUs. Some critics say Facebook is for \"older people,\" but it looks like we will all end up on Facebook someday.WhatsApp, as a standalone platform, now has about 2 billion MAUs. It seemed like a big deal when Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $16 billion, but it now seems like one of the smartest deals of the last decade.Instagram now gets more than two billion MAUs, and Facebook has done an excellent job monetizing it. About 75% of all active Internet users globally are Facebook-owned service MAUs, and about 49% of the world's entire population uses a Facebook-owned service monthly. These stats are remarkable, considering that people in China don't use Facebook.The Valuation Perspective - Meta is Still CheapConsensus EPS estimates are for $17.32 next year.

This dynamic implies that Meta&#39;s revenues and profitability could improve faster than anticipated, leading to a higher earnings multiple and higher stock price in the coming years.Where Meta&#39;s stock could go from here:<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Year</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2024</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2025</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2026</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2027</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2028</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2029</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2030</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Revenue Bs</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$155</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$175</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$200</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$226</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$253</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$281</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$309</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Revenue growth</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">16%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">13%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">14%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">13%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">12%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">11%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">10%</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">EPS</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$18.75</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$21.90</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$25.85</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$30.21</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$35</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$40</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$46</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">EPS growth</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">25%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">17%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">18%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">17%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">16%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">15%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">14%</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Forward P/E</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">20</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">21</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">22</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">23</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">22</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">21</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">20</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Stock price</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$438</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$543</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$665</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$805</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$880</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$966</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$1,050</td></tr></tbody></table>Source: The Financial Prophet.I updated my previous analysis&#39; sales, earnings, valuation, and price target estimates for Meta. While I utilized more robust sales growth estimates in this analysis, I used a more modest EPS growth rate, arriving at roughly the same stock price as my previous analysis. In a more bullish case scenario, Meta may achieve a higher EPS growth rate, enabling its stock to advance higher. Also, Meta could see more rapid multiple expansion. Its forward P/E ratio may rise above the current high of 23, leading to higher price target estimates. Still, in a base case scenario, Meta&#39;s stock could achieve a $1,050 price tag before 2030, making it a top stock candidate to buy and hold for the next ten years.<h2 id=\"id_3866692967\">The Meta Risks</h2>Despite having enormous potential, there are risks with investing in Meta. We could see another economic slowdown, leading to slower sales and lower profitability. We may also see increased competition from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNAP\">Snap Inc</a>. (SNAP) or other social media competitors. Also, the Metaverse or AI may become less of a deal than some think. Meta may play a minor role, taking less market share in the AI/Metaverse emerging industries. There may be efficiency issues and government regulations that could weigh future growth down cutting into earnings in future years. Investors should examine these and other risks before investing in Meta.</body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

(NASDAQ:META) is having a fantastic year. Its stock is up by nearly 300% since the tech wreck bottom.

Meta should continue posting impressive growth and profitability metrics, surpassing analysts' expectations, leading its P/E multiple to grow and its stock price to appreciate considerably in future years.The Technical Blueprint - Excellent RecoveryMETA (StockCharts.com)Meta has clawed back most losses sustained during the tech market's earnings recession. Meta's stock was demolished due to a temporary growth slowdown and an earnings decline phase. However, once all the negative factors washed out, Meta bottomed and surpassed estimates several times after the stock bottomed.Meta's momentum is solid, and its stock should continue outperforming after a brief pullback/consolidation phase. Meta should achieve new ATHs in the new year. Meta also has substantial support around the $300-280 level, making the downside risk minimal.

About 3.14 billion users log into one of Facebook's family platforms daily. Facebook, as a standalone platform, gets a whopping 3.05 billion MAUs. Some critics say Facebook is for \"older people,\" but it looks like we will all end up on Facebook someday.WhatsApp, as a standalone platform, now has about 2 billion MAUs. It seemed like a big deal when Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $16 billion, but it now seems like one of the smartest deals of the last decade.Instagram now gets more than two billion MAUs, and Facebook has done an excellent job monetizing it. About 75% of all active Internet users globally are Facebook-owned service MAUs, and about 49% of the world's entire population uses a Facebook-owned service monthly. These stats are remarkable, considering that people in China don't use Facebook.The Valuation Perspective - Meta is Still CheapConsensus EPS estimates are for $17.32 next year.

This dynamic implies that Meta&#39;s revenues and profitability could improve faster than anticipated, leading to a higher earnings multiple and higher stock price in the coming years.Where Meta&#39;s stock could go from here:<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Year</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2024</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2025</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2026</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2027</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2028</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2029</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2030</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Revenue Bs</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$155</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$175</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$200</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$226</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$253</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$281</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$309</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Revenue growth</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">16%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">13%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">14%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">13%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">12%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">11%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">10%</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">EPS</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$18.75</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$21.90</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$25.85</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$30.21</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$35</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$40</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$46</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">EPS growth</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">25%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">17%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">18%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">17%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">16%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">15%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">14%</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Forward P/E</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">20</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">21</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">22</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">23</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">22</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">21</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">20</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Stock price</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$438</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$543</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$665</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$805</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$880</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$966</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$1,050</td></tr></tbody></table>Source: The Financial Prophet.I updated my previous analysis&#39; sales, earnings, valuation, and price target estimates for Meta. While I utilized more robust sales growth estimates in this analysis, I used a more modest EPS growth rate, arriving at roughly the same stock price as my previous analysis. In a more bullish case scenario, Meta may achieve a higher EPS growth rate, enabling its stock to advance higher. Also, Meta could see more rapid multiple expansion. Its forward P/E ratio may rise above the current high of 23, leading to higher price target estimates. Still, in a base case scenario, Meta&#39;s stock could achieve a $1,050 price tag before 2030, making it a top stock candidate to buy and hold for the next ten years.<h2 id=\"id_3866692967\">The Meta Risks</h2>Despite having enormous potential, there are risks with investing in Meta. We could see another economic slowdown, leading to slower sales and lower profitability. We may also see increased competition from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNAP\">Snap Inc</a>. (SNAP) or other social media competitors. Also, the Metaverse or AI may become less of a deal than some think. Meta may play a minor role, taking less market share in the AI/Metaverse emerging industries. There may be efficiency issues and government regulations that could weigh future growth down cutting into earnings in future years. Investors should examine these and other risks before investing in Meta.</body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Meta should continue posting impressive growth and profitability metrics, surpassing analysts' expectations, leading its P/E multiple to grow and its stock price to appreciate considerably in future years.The Technical Blueprint - Excellent RecoveryMETA (StockCharts.com)Meta has clawed back most losses sustained during the tech market's earnings recession. Meta's stock was demolished due to a temporary growth slowdown and an earnings decline phase. However, once all the negative factors washed out, Meta bottomed and surpassed estimates several times after the stock bottomed.Meta's momentum is solid, and its stock should continue outperforming after a brief pullback/consolidation phase. Meta should achieve new ATHs in the new year. Meta also has substantial support around the $300-280 level, making the downside risk minimal.

About 3.14 billion users log into one of Facebook's family platforms daily. Facebook, as a standalone platform, gets a whopping 3.05 billion MAUs. Some critics say Facebook is for \"older people,\" but it looks like we will all end up on Facebook someday.WhatsApp, as a standalone platform, now has about 2 billion MAUs. It seemed like a big deal when Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $16 billion, but it now seems like one of the smartest deals of the last decade.Instagram now gets more than two billion MAUs, and Facebook has done an excellent job monetizing it. About 75% of all active Internet users globally are Facebook-owned service MAUs, and about 49% of the world's entire population uses a Facebook-owned service monthly. These stats are remarkable, considering that people in China don't use Facebook.The Valuation Perspective - Meta is Still CheapConsensus EPS estimates are for $17.32 next year.

This dynamic implies that Meta&#39;s revenues and profitability could improve faster than anticipated, leading to a higher earnings multiple and higher stock price in the coming years.Where Meta&#39;s stock could go from here:<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Year</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2024</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2025</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2026</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2027</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2028</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2029</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2030</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Revenue Bs</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$155</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$175</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$200</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$226</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$253</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$281</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$309</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Revenue growth</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">16%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">13%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">14%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">13%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">12%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">11%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">10%</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">EPS</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$18.75</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$21.90</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$25.85</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$30.21</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$35</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$40</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$46</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">EPS growth</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">25%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">17%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">18%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">17%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">16%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">15%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">14%</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Forward P/E</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">20</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">21</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">22</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">23</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">22</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">21</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">20</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Stock price</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$438</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$543</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$665</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$805</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$880</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$966</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$1,050</td></tr></tbody></table>Source: The Financial Prophet.I updated my previous analysis&#39; sales, earnings, valuation, and price target estimates for Meta. While I utilized more robust sales growth estimates in this analysis, I used a more modest EPS growth rate, arriving at roughly the same stock price as my previous analysis. In a more bullish case scenario, Meta may achieve a higher EPS growth rate, enabling its stock to advance higher. Also, Meta could see more rapid multiple expansion. Its forward P/E ratio may rise above the current high of 23, leading to higher price target estimates. Still, in a base case scenario, Meta&#39;s stock could achieve a $1,050 price tag before 2030, making it a top stock candidate to buy and hold for the next ten years.<h2 id=\"id_3866692967\">The Meta Risks</h2>Despite having enormous potential, there are risks with investing in Meta. We could see another economic slowdown, leading to slower sales and lower profitability. We may also see increased competition from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNAP\">Snap Inc</a>. (SNAP) or other social media competitors. Also, the Metaverse or AI may become less of a deal than some think. Meta may play a minor role, taking less market share in the AI/Metaverse emerging industries. There may be efficiency issues and government regulations that could weigh future growth down cutting into earnings in future years. Investors should examine these and other risks before investing in Meta.</body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

However, once all the negative factors washed out, Meta bottomed and surpassed estimates several times after the stock bottomed.Meta's momentum is solid, and its stock should continue outperforming after a brief pullback/consolidation phase. Meta should achieve new ATHs in the new year. Meta also has substantial support around the $300-280 level, making the downside risk minimal.

Some critics say Facebook is for \"older people,\" but it looks like we will all end up on Facebook someday.WhatsApp, as a standalone platform, now has about 2 billion MAUs. It seemed like a big deal when Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $16 billion, but it now seems like one of the smartest deals of the last decade.Instagram now gets more than two billion MAUs, and Facebook has done an excellent job monetizing it. About 75% of all active Internet users globally are Facebook-owned service MAUs, and about 49% of the world's entire population uses a Facebook-owned service monthly.

This dynamic implies that Meta&#39;s revenues and profitability could improve faster than anticipated, leading to a higher earnings multiple and higher stock price in the coming years.Where Meta&#39;s stock could go from here:<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Year</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2024</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2025</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2026</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2027</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2028</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2029</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2030</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Revenue Bs</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$155</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$175</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$200</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$226</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$253</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$281</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$309</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Revenue growth</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">16%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">13%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">14%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">13%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">12%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">11%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">10%</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">EPS</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$18.75</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$21.90</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$25.85</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$30.21</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$35</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$40</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$46</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">EPS growth</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">25%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">17%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">18%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">17%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">16%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">15%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">14%</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Forward P/E</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">20</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">21</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">22</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">23</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">22</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">21</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">20</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Stock price</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$438</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$543</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$665</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$805</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$880</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$966</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$1,050</td></tr></tbody></table>Source: The Financial Prophet.I updated my previous analysis&#39; sales, earnings, valuation, and price target estimates for Meta. While I utilized more robust sales growth estimates in this analysis, I used a more modest EPS growth rate, arriving at roughly the same stock price as my previous analysis. In a more bullish case scenario, Meta may achieve a higher EPS growth rate, enabling its stock to advance higher. Also, Meta could see more rapid multiple expansion. Its forward P/E ratio may rise above the current high of 23, leading to higher price target estimates. Still, in a base case scenario, Meta&#39;s stock could achieve a $1,050 price tag before 2030, making it a top stock candidate to buy and hold for the next ten years.<h2 id=\"id_3866692967\">The Meta Risks</h2>Despite having enormous potential, there are risks with investing in Meta. We could see another economic slowdown, leading to slower sales and lower profitability. We may also see increased competition from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNAP\">Snap Inc</a>. (SNAP) or other social media competitors. Also, the Metaverse or AI may become less of a deal than some think. Meta may play a minor role, taking less market share in the AI/Metaverse emerging industries. There may be efficiency issues and government regulations that could weigh future growth down cutting into earnings in future years. Investors should examine these and other risks before investing in Meta.</body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

(NASDAQ:META) is having a fantastic year. Its stock is up by nearly 300% since the tech wreck bottom. I was ultra-bullish on Meta when its stock crashed to below $100, adding to my position during this remarkably depressed timeframe. Despite the monster run-up, Meta's stock likely has considerable upside ahead.Meta remains the dominant, monopolistic-style force in social media. Meta will likely benefit from increased ad spending as the economy continues improving. The more accessible monetary environment should also provide a constructive tailwind for Meta.Moreover, Meta's leading role in the Metaverse, virtual/augmented reality space, should enable it to leverage the AI effect, allowing Meta's earnings to continue expanding in the future. Meta should continue posting impressive growth and profitability metrics, surpassing analysts' expectations, leading its P/E multiple to grow and its stock price to appreciate considerably in future years.The Technical Blueprint - Excellent RecoveryMETA (StockCharts.com)Meta has clawed back most losses sustained during the tech market's earnings recession. Meta's stock was demolished due to a temporary growth slowdown and an earnings decline phase. However, once all the negative factors washed out, Meta bottomed and surpassed estimates several times after the stock bottomed.Meta's momentum is solid, and its stock should continue outperforming after a brief pullback/consolidation phase. Meta should achieve new ATHs in the new year. Meta also has substantial support around the $300-280 level, making the downside risk minimal. Moreover, if we look out longer term (5-10 years), we see that Meta has substantial potential to increase its stock price severalfold in future years.Meta's Massive Metaverse and AI PotentialMeta should benefit from a unique combination of AI and virtual/augmented reality potential. Meta is pioneering the way in seamless AI-enhanced communication. Moreover, Meta is developing a clever AI-propelled Ego How-to augmented reality video and tutorial system.Meta is spearheading the AI Alliance, an AI collaboration effort with over 50 founding members and collaborators globally, including top AI market-leading companies, prestigious universities, and other organizations.Meta has been one of the most prominent investors and developers of AI and the future platform of computing, the Metaverse. Next year, it will be ten years since the developments at Reality Labs started. These two emerging technologies are Meta's most significant bets for the future and represent enormous revenue and profitability growth opportunities.The mega social media giant has a gigantic platform for marketing its future technologies, products, and services. Many active Internet users globally already utilize one or multiple Meta-owned social networking platforms daily.Reaching potential customers and consumers won't be a problem for Meta. Additionally, we should witness increased efficiency with the advancements in AI and improving ad revenues as Meta makes it more advantageous for companies to reach customers from its platforms.Meta: The King Of All Social MediaWe all end up on Meta sooner or later. Cumulative, Meta's family of \"products\" - Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram - attract nearly 4 billion monthly active users.Cumulative Number of Monthly Meta Product Users (billions)Meta MAUs (Statista.com)Roughly 80% of the MAUs (monthly active users) are daily active persons (DAPs). About 3.14 billion users log into one of Facebook's family platforms daily. Facebook, as a standalone platform, gets a whopping 3.05 billion MAUs. Some critics say Facebook is for \"older people,\" but it looks like we will all end up on Facebook someday.WhatsApp, as a standalone platform, now has about 2 billion MAUs. It seemed like a big deal when Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $16 billion, but it now seems like one of the smartest deals of the last decade.Instagram now gets more than two billion MAUs, and Facebook has done an excellent job monetizing it. About 75% of all active Internet users globally are Facebook-owned service MAUs, and about 49% of the world's entire population uses a Facebook-owned service monthly. These stats are remarkable, considering that people in China don't use Facebook.The Valuation Perspective - Meta is Still CheapConsensus EPS estimates are for $17.32 next year. However, due to the better-than-expected growth atmosphere, higher earnings revisions, improving efficiency, and other factors, Meta could earn around $19 in EPS in 2024. This earnings dynamic implies that Meta may be trading around 18 times forward P/E estimates here.Earnings Estimates Likely to Move HigherEPS growth (SeekingAlpha.com)Moreover, we should continue seeing double-digit EPS growth of about 15-20% or higher in future years. Additionally, Meta could benefit from continued revenue growth. Consensus estimates predict annual sales growth of about 8-10% in the coming years, but Meta's growth could expand by about 10-12% or more. This dynamic implies that Meta's revenues and profitability could improve faster than anticipated, leading to a higher earnings multiple and higher stock price in the coming years.Where Meta's stock could go from here:Year2024202520262027202820292030Revenue Bs$155$175$200$226$253$281$309Revenue growth16%13%14%13%12%11%10%EPS$18.75$21.90$25.85$30.21$35$40$46EPS growth25%17%18%17%16%15%14%Forward P/E20212223222120Stock price$438$543$665$805$880$966$1,050Source: The Financial Prophet.I updated my previous analysis' sales, earnings, valuation, and price target estimates for Meta.
