$META META (Meta Platforms)
Latest price: about $549.90 at the Aug. 21 close. Q2 2026 revenue: $60.8B, +28% YoY, beating estimates, while EPS $6.18 missed expectations significantly. Main concern: AI infrastructure spending is extremely high; Q2 free cash flow fell 91% to $784M, with CapEx around $31.1B.
Bullish factor: advertising remains very strong—ad revenue rose 27%, while daily active users reached 3.6B.
Legal risk: Meta is facing major youth-safety litigation involving 29 U.S. states, adding uncertainty to costs and valuation.
Technical view: META remains under pressure after a large 2026 decline, but the recent rebound suggests buyers are beginning to defend lower levels.
My view: Neutral-to-bullish long term, but high risk short term. The key catalyst is whether massive AI spending starts producing enough additional revenue/profit to justify the investment.
Key levels to watch: roughly $520–550 support zone; a sustained move above $590–600 would improve the short-term bullish setup.
