Meta shares drop after Q2 miss but analysts see 26% upside amid AI growth hopes

Meta Platforms' stock fell over 10% after missing Q2 earnings expectations due to legal charges and high AI-related expenses, despite revenue growth. Analysts remain optimistic, with a consensus price target implying 26.3% upside, driven by AI innovations in business messaging and ad ranking improvements. The company faces risks from rising costs and ongoing litigation but continues to grow revenue strongly and invest in future AI capabilities. Investors are weighing short-term challenges against long-term growth potential.
