Meta (META) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Meta Platforms Inc. demonstrates strong financial momentum, as evidenced by its 3Q25 earnings report, showing a significant increase in advertising impressions by 14% year-over-year and a 10% rise in average pricing. The company anticipates 4Q25 revenues between $56 billion and $59 billion, representing a robust growth of 19% to 22% year-over-year, with an impressive improvement in EBITDA margins increasing over 10 percentage points from the previous year. Furthermore, the rising daily usage of its social media applications, now exceeding 3.5 billion users, underscores Meta's expansive reach and growth potential, supporting a positive outlook for the firm's stock.
Bears say
Meta Platforms is experiencing a significant decline in free cash flow, projected to decrease from $52 billion in 2024 to just $26 billion by 2026, primarily due to a substantial increase in capital expenditures. Additionally, the company has reported a 54% year-over-year drop in returns to shareholders in the third quarter of 2025, coupled with disappointing growth rates that have fallen below previous expectations. Concerns regarding potential stagnation in Facebook's active user base and increased competition from platforms like TikTok further exacerbate the situation, leading to uncertainty about the company's ability to generate satisfactory returns on its research and development investments.
