What the analyst said

BofA Securities analyst Justin Post lowered the price target on Meta Platforms Inc.

(NASDAQ: META) to $810 (from $900) while maintaining a Buy rating.

“We expect Meta stock to be controversial given a limited EPS growth outlook and y/y FCF pressure in 2026.

However, we see Meta in a position of strength with massive user network and opportunity to integration compelling AI products (including content creation tools) over the next two years.

We believe the bad news on expenses is now mostly ‘in’ the stock, while product catalysts, including a new LLM and content creation tools, can drive upside engagement and revenue in 2026.

Also, while FCF will likely decline in 2026, at the $695 AH price Meta is valued at 10.5x 2027E EBITDA, and 19x 2027 core business EPS, which we think can help support the stock.”
