Meta wins back Wall Street with AI promises

The stock price of Meta increased 11 percent on Thursday as a result of investors’ enthusiasm, which has already helped the social network’s stock almost double in worth during the past twelve months.

Meta’s concentration on artificial intelligence, as well as cost-cutting, also helped the shares of the organization continue their winning streak & win Wall Street’s support back.

If premarket gains hold, the value of Meta on the market will increase by approximately sixty billion dollars. The gain also helped other tech firms, from Snapchat and Pinterest to Amazon, rise by as much as 3.3 percent.

Shmulik was one of the 27 analysts who increased Meta’s price target, bringing the average estimate up to 270 USD and adding almost 30 percent to the supply’s increase over the course of the year, leading profits across Tech Giant Firms.

The latest indication that American technology firms were emerging from a downturn that has resulted in a large number of layoffs was the fact that Meta surpassed estimates for first-quarter revenue and profit, which increased for the first time in almost a year’s time.

The outcomes also highlighted the growing significance of AI, according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who claimed the technology was assisting in increasing traffic to both Facebook and Instagram as well as ad revenue.

“We believe AI has played a crucial role in shifting Meta from showing a more limited set of friends, family, and followed content to an almost unlimited set of recommended content now available in Reels and Feed,” J.P. Morgan analysts said.

“Year of efficiency paves the way to AI offense,” Roth MKM’s Rohit Kulkarni said.
