How High Can Meta’s Stock Price Rise?

Meta Platforms (META) stock keeps gaining support from Wall Street as the tech giant pushes deeper into artificial intelligence (AI). One of the most bullish analysts covering the stock is Rosenblatt Securities analyst Barton Crockett. He reiterated a Buy rating on META stock and a $1,015 price target. That target represents a possible 67.84% upside for the shares.

What’s the Argument for the Bullish Meta Stock Price Target?

According to Crockett, Meta’s core ad business continues performing well even as the company spends billions on AI tools and infrastructure. The analyst also said Meta appears able to scale its AI efforts without putting pressure on its balance sheet. In other words, the company still has strong cash flow even with heavy AI investment.

Another key point for Crockett is improving efficiency inside Meta. The Rosenblatt analyst said Meta’s workforce is becoming more productive. That includes stronger output from engineers. This could help the company manage costs while it continues to focus on AI expansion. Investors will also note that Meta just announced new layoffs. However, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said there won’t be any other company-wide layoffs this year.

It will still be a couple of months before investors see how Meta’s AI plans unfold. The company is set to report its next earnings results on July 29, 2026. This will likely be a major catalyst for the company. That’s due to increased shareholder interest in AI efforts.

Where Do Other Analysts Stand on META Stock?

Looking at wider Wall Street coverage of Meta, Crockett isn’t alone in his bullish stance. The consensus rating for Meta is Strong Buy, based on 31 Buy and seven Hold ratings over the past three months. With that comes an average META stock price target of $817.71, which represents a potential 35.14% upside for the shares.
