Meta Platforms is back in the spotlight as Wall Street doubles down on its AI and advertising story. Evercore ISI’s Mark Mahaney reaffirmed a Buy rating and set an aggressive $900 price target, implying hefty upside from Meta’s recent $659.15 close and signaling strong confidence in the company’s long‑term earnings power.
Analysts cite Meta Platforms’ dominant position in digital ads and its expanding AI ecosystem, including recent work with Amazon’s AWS Graviton chips, as key drivers. TipRanks data show a Strong Buy consensus and an average target of $855.60, or about 29% upside, suggesting investors still see Meta as a core AI and communication‑services play despite recent tech volatility.
The bullish mood around Meta Platforms also reflects broader strength in mega‑cap tech. Alphabet’s Class C shares drew a fresh Buy reiteration and a $360 target from Oppenheimer, underscoring how investors are clustering around a handful of AI‑enabled platforms. For Meta shareholders, the latest calls reinforce a narrative of continued growth and potential multiple expansion if AI investments pay off.
