Meta is investing heavily in future technologies with a 2026 capital budget up to $145 billion, causing current profit and cash flow pressures. Despite a 14% drop in shares over the past year, revenue grew 28% year-over-year in Q2 2026. Analysts see upside with a consensus target around $754, but a longer-term model suggests Meta's stock could reach $1,300 by 2030 if AI-driven ad growth and new business revenue streams materialize. The key risk is ongoing high capital spending delaying free cash flow recovery, but if successful, Meta's earnings and valuation could justify doubling the share price within four years.
