Summary

  • Meta Platforms has shown impressive growth, with a 33% increase in stock value and strong quarterly and full-year financial results, including a 50.5% YoY EPS growth.
  • Despite the positive performance, I maintain a "Hold" rating due to the stock's high valuation multiple of 30, making it not a bargain.
  • Meta's revenue growth is driven by increased ad prices and impressions, but future growth will require new revenue streams like Threads and AI glasses.
  • While Meta has potential for double-digit growth, I will hold my shares but not increase my position at current valuation levels.

It has been about six months since I published my last article on Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) (NEOE:META:CA). Back then, I argued that I will rather stay on the sidelines. In my case, that meant holding on

People miss the point. AI favors the most those with the most data. And meta is onto something with RayBan Meta glasses. Just bought them in Italy for 409 euros. I haven’t enjoyed a product as much for a very long time. I am sold on the idea of this being a leading form factor. Most people wear sunglasses anyway. And a pair of RayBan sunglasses + top notch bone conduction headphones cost 400 euros together anyway. The video and picture are surprisingly good quality as well. But the biggest plus for travelers is you do NOT miss the moment when capturing moments with your device. Love it. And meta is gradually rolling out best-in-class AI features to new markets, awaiting regulatory approval. This product with RayBan’s distribution network and the best best advertising in the world will be a hit by the end of the year.
