What the analyst said

Evercore ISI analyst Mark Mahaney reiterated an Outperform rating and $860 price target on Meta Platforms Inc.

(NASDAQ: META).

“Today, Meta introduced Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, its newest AI models designed to power personal and professional agents that complete complex, extended tasks rather than simply answer questions.

The launch follows a fourteen-month overhaul of Meta’s AI efforts – in part through extensive acqui-hires — with both models trained at its gigawatt-scale Prometheus data center.

Muse Wonder is available through the Meta Model API and Muse Code, while Wonder Full is available to Muse Code subscribers.

A rollout into the consumer Muse experience is planned, beginning with paid subscribers.

We reiterate our Outperform and $860 PT (22x ’28 P/E — 16% upside) on META, with an upside PT of $980 (25x ’28 P/E – 32%).”
