Meta (META) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Meta Platforms maintains a positive outlook due to its substantial user base, with close to 4 billion monthly active users across its "Family of Apps," which includes Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. The company reported a robust ad revenue growth, with Q3 2025 ad impressions increasing by 14% year-over-year and average pricing rising by 10% year-over-year, signaling strong advertiser demand. Furthermore, Meta's strategic investment in expanding its workforce and its guidance for revenue growth of 19%-22% for Q4 2025, coupled with a significant increase in expenses and capital expenditures, reflects the company's commitment to enhancing its core business and future growth.
Bears say
Meta Platforms is experiencing a significant decline in free cash flow, projected to decrease from $52 billion in 2024 to just $26 billion by 2026, largely due to a $30 billion increase in capital expenditures. The firm's revenue growth is anticipated to slow to a low double-digit percentage, driven by challenges in monetizing new products and the potential stagnation or decline of its active user base amidst rising competition from platforms like TikTok. Additionally, various risks, including macroeconomic pressures, regulatory challenges, and elevated operational costs, further hinder Meta's ability to achieve favorable returns on its investments in research and development.
