Meta's growth and earnings make its valuation appealing. It trades at 17x 2027 estimates with 17% EPS and 22% revenue growth. Its $140 billion EBITDA should make it worth more than Anthropic, which has none, though that comparison could be wrong. If distribution is king, Meta Muse could benefit from Meta's 3.64 billion daily active users, according to GuruFocus News. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Meta's core advertising business is significantly outgrowing its biggest competitors even before factoring in the newer businesses it is building. Q3 ad revenue rose 26% year over year, versus 10.6% at Alphabet and 10.9% at Amazon. Back at 19x forward earnings, Meta is the most undervalued Magnificent Seven stock. x.com  x.com 

Nebius's $40B-plus customer commitments and funding resources make its growth seriously underappreciated, despite financing risk. Q2 revenue grew 454% to $582M; Microsoft and Meta contracts total $29.4B, with another potential $15B from Meta. Against roughly $5.7B of Q2 capex, Nebius had about $8B cash, expects over $9B in 2026 customer prepayments and subsequently raised about $5.75B in convertible notes. It is one of the more compelling long-term AI infrastructure opportunities right now. … Show more

Meta's early AI monetization in its core business makes the long-term upside potentially far greater than the short-term pain from its planned $95B capital raise and possible dilution. Its fair value is $1,100, and the shares are worth holding for years despite short-term moves. If Meta monetizes the infrastructure, upside is massive; even if it does not, the assets still have value. x.com 

Meta's advertising is less vulnerable to AI agents and LLMs because users must scroll Instagram themselves. AI may even give them more time to do so, while Meta retains other mega-caps' AI tailwinds; it remains the best AI stock. CapEx is still a problem. As @diyinvestor1 noted, Meta also has no exposure to OpenAI or Anthropic. x.com  x.com  x.com 

A likely increase in Meta's capital spending could send AI stocks, including Nebius, CoreWeave and Cipher Digital, sharply higher. Meta reports earnings after the bell. Cheddar Flow reports a $17 million purchase of CoreWeave calls; bulls appear positioned for a massive after-hours move. x.com  x.com 

Meta's ad engine is still growing, and its higher AI spending comes with a stronger revenue outlook. Revenue was $64.6B versus $63.4B expected, with $63.1B in ads; the Q4 guide midpoint of $74.5B beat $73.7B expected. Meta raised only the capex floor to $135B, leaving the $145B ceiling unchanged. The roughly $10B legal charge depressed reported EPS, not ads. Overweight, $1,004 target with 41% upside. x.com  x.com 

Meta's financial strength gives it an advantage in securing scarce capital for AI infrastructure, with funding going to those trusted to earn the best returns. Meta says its planned $60B at-the-market equity program is not expected to begin until Q1 2027 and complements $35B in underwritten offerings; its Aa3/AA- ratings allow efficient long-term borrowing. x.com 

Meta's hundreds-of-gigawatts compute ambition looks hard to justify against the revenue a much smaller build might support. If Anthropic can generate over $70B in annualized revenue on 3GW or less, including training, hundreds of gigawatts is not a serious figure. Earlier Muse monetization than in past product cycles also makes little sense without direct integration into ad recommendations or an immediate shift in user behavior. x.com 

Meta's AI infrastructure financing raises the risk that a long wait for revenue and profit will keep its shares volatile. It disclosed plans to raise up to $95 billion. @amitisinvesting warns that further dilution could keep the stock stuck even if the buildout eventually pays off. Meta's selloff is still a massive buying opportunity. x.com  x.com  x.com
