What the analyst said

DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria reiterated a Buy rating and $825 price target on Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META).

“We maintain our BUY rating and $825 price target following 3Q25 earnings that beat on the top-line but fell short on the bottom-line, with diluted EPS reported at $1.05 vs. consensus expectations of $6.70 due to a ~$16B one-time tax charge.

Meta is continuing to ramp its spend on AI resources which is primarily coming in the form of compute and talent, both of which management believes is key they remain ahead of their competitors on.”
