Meta Platforms Inc. (META) PT Raised to $850 at Raymond James

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 06:08:49 -0400

Raymond James analyst Josh Beck raised the price target on Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) to $850.00 (from $825.00) while maintaining a Strong Buy rating.

The analyst comments "The Call: While our June 2024 call (LINK) for Meta to enter the Cloud and API business was perhaps a bit early, a recent API launch (LINK) and a NYT report (LINK) citing a potential Meta-Anthropic compute deal support our thesis. Meta Compute fundamentally alters the AI Calculus, providing a critical ‘off-ramp’ should Meta AI, SMB Business Agents, and/or Meta Model API inference demand fall short of expectations, allowing Meta to pivot scarce

Meta Platforms Inc. (META) PT Raised to $1,000 at Rothschild Redburn

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 03:38:33 -0400

Rothschild Redburn analyst Dominic Ball raised the price target on Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) to $1,000.00 (from $900.00) while maintaining a Buy rating.

The analyst comments: “For Meta, the question is where to point its capital and compute. The 'Metaverse' still shapes how investors view Meta's spending, and the reflex is to assume generative AI ends the same way. Our view is that an inflection in capital return will be derived from Meta’s pivot from a consumer AI assistant to a small business AI tool (SMB LLM), resulting in a longer growth runway, wider moat, and higher margins and returns.

Jefferies Reiterates Buy Rating on Meta Platforms Inc. (META)

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 03:03:59 -0400

Jefferies analyst Brent Thill reiterated a Buy rating and $825.00 price target on Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META)

The analyst comments: “Our team bought & tried on 3 different models of Meta's AI glasses & came away impressed. Camera quality, seamless setup, & a normal-glasses form factor stood out. While we see areas to improve, META has a first-mover advantage as the only player now shipping at scale. Assuming Apple-watch-like adoption at an average selling price (ASP) of $400, we size a $14B-$18B hardware rev opportunity within the next few yrs, & see a LT growth vector not yet priced in.

BofA Securities Reiterates Buy Rating on Meta Platforms Inc. (META)

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 02:34:02 -0400

BofA Securities analyst Justin Post reiterated a Buy rating and $835.00 price target on Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META)

The analyst comments: “Reports 7/29. Our checks suggest healthy 2Q ad growth. We are revising 2Q ests. to reflect stronger ad trends, partially offset by recent US$ depreciation. We expect 2Q Rev/EPS of $60.6bn/$7.50 vs Street $60.2bn/$7.18 and think rev. expectations could be around $61bn. With 10% workforce reduction in May & job postings down 49% q/q in 2Q, we expect EPS upside.

Meta stock pares losses on report of AI computing deal talks

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 12:35:46 -0400

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) recovered from a steep 5.7% dip, paring losses to 3% after a New York Times report revealed the tech giant is in early-stage talks to lease its vast AI data centers to Anthropic in a blockbuster $10 billion deal.

According to the report, Anthropic proposed the deal in June, which would involve the AI startup paying Meta in monthly increments over a two-year period for access to its AI data centers. Both companies would have the option to exit the agreement early.

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 06:30:32 -0400

BMO Capital analyst Brian J. Pitz reiterated a Market Perform rating and $720.00 price target on Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META).

The analyst commented: 'Impressive AI model releases and intentions to launch a cloud business have helped ease fears around META's meaningful ~$141B of 2026E CapEx spend. Despite these near-term improvements, we continue to believe that META has the least visible AI ROI story. Additionally, we highlight that governments globally continue to push online age verification initiatives that threaten META's core business. Maintain Market Perform, our estimates, and $720 target price, as we seek increased visibility into AI initiatives, cloud business

Baird Reiterates Outperform Rating on Meta Platforms Inc. (META)

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 06:45:19 -0400

Baird analyst Colin Sebastian reiterated an Outperform rating and $830.00 price target on Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META).

The analyst commented: "Revisiting our positive thesis on META; our view has been the high costs of AI infrastructure/platform build-out are embedded in expectations while potential incremental revenue benefits generally are not. We believe this view is gaining traction, particularly with Meta's expanding business agents, upgrades to Meta AI and the core ad platform, and with longer-term potential for cloud/AI services that leverage accelerated custom silicon initiatives. We expect solid Q2 results despite some intra quarter volatility, and that the gravitational pull of

Citi sees Google, Meta and Amazon capex spending at over $800 billion in 2027

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 06:43:25 -0400

Investing.com -- Citi is projecting a staggering $801 billion in combined 2027 capital expenditure across Alphabet, Meta Platforms, and Amazon, warning that the scale of AI infrastructure spending will push all three hyperscalers into negative free cash flow territory in both 2027 and 2028.

The brokerage firm materially raised capex forecasts across the board ahead of Q2 2026 earnings season — results that Citi also expects to beat consensus on the top and bottom lines.

Citi stated that "we are materially raising CapEx projections, resulting in negative FCF in '27E & '28E for each" of the three companies. The bank raised its
