BofA Securities analysts reaffirmed a Buy rating on Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) with a price target of $710, emphasizing the company’s strong growth potential driven by advancements in artificial intelligence and strategic monetization initiatives.
Meta's AI-driven improvements in advertising are expected to remain a key growth catalyst over the coming quarters. For 2025, the company is well-positioned to benefit from several compelling factors: enhanced AI and machine learning capabilities that improve return on ad spend (ROAS) and drive higher ad investment, rising usage of short-form videos (SFV) coupled with improved video monetization, expanding revenue streams from messaging platforms, and the monetization of untapped opportunities like Threads, Marketplace, and Meta AI.
Additionally, Meta’s increasing AI capabilities are likely to deliver product innovations, creating further upside potential. These advancements underscore the company's ability to stay ahead in the competitive digital advertising landscape.
From a valuation perspective, Meta is trading at 22 times its projected 2026 GAAP EPS, or 18 times when adjusted for Reality Labs, making it an attractive investment compared to the S&P 500's multiple of 20 times.
