Buy

Reason

Guggenheim lowered the firm's price target on Meta Platforms to $800 from $875 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm's lowered target reflects its assumption of higher investment levels on "relatively unproven projects," but the 2026 outlook for Meta operating trends "remains constructive," the analyst tells investors.

Overweight

Reason

Cantor Fitzgerald raised the firm's price target on Meta Platforms to $750 from $720 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. Despite lingering macro concerns, the outlook for Global Internet stocks into 2026 is increasingly positive as AI enters a "Synergy" phase that should drive accelerating revenue growth, improved value capture, and clearer long-term returns on capex, the analyst tells investors in a research note. With valuations still about 20% below medium-term ranges despite 2025 outperformance, the group is positioned to outperform in 2026 amid positive estimate revisions and improving sentiment, Cantor says.

Reason

Wolfe Research lowered the firm's price target on Meta Platforms to $800 from $850 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. 2026 could be another positive year for Internet stocks, though maybe not as much outperformance as the prior three years given current, elevated multiples for some of the firm's coverage, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm added that it sees opportunities for estimates upside driven by AI developments and product catalysts, a relatively healthy macro backdrop, successful capital allocation, and pockets of re-rating potential.
