Bernstein analyst Mark Shmulik set a $800 price target for Meta Platforms, suggesting a 36.6% upside from its current price of $585.61. This comes despite Meta's recent 9% stock drop after its Q2 report showed 28% revenue growth to $60.8 billion but a 14% net income decline and earnings per share below expectations. Investors are wary of Meta's heavy spending on AI, though some analysts like Jefferies' Brent Thill remain optimistic, expecting AI investments to open new profitable business areas beyond advertising in the long term.
