During the Q2 earnings call, CEO Mark Zuckerberg highlighted the company's strategic push into AI. Meta's AI-powered recommendation model for ads has improved performance by using more signals and a longer context, driving a 5% increase in ad conversions on Instagram and a 3% increase on Facebook. The company also introduced ads in WhatsApp Status and Channel Subscriptions in the Updates tab to help businesses, further expanding its monetization efforts.
Despite these impressive results, the market has undervalued Meta Platforms. Analysts predict that the company's earnings could grow at an annual rate of 17% over the next three to five years, with some predicting the stock could reach $1,086 per share within 12 months.
Meta's current market value is $1.9 trillion, and to surpass Nvidia and Palantir's collective worth of $4.6 trillion within five years, the company needs to achieve a 150% increase, valuing the stock at $4.7 trillion by 2030. This ambitious target suggests that investors have high expectations for Meta's future growth.
