What the analyst said

Citizens analyst Andrew Boone reiterated a Market Outperform rating and $885 price target on Meta Platforms Inc.

(NASDAQ: META).

“Meta last closed at $705.44, which implies that it trades for 22.0x our 2027 EPS of $32.04. Our $885 price target is based on ~28x our 2027 GAAP EPS.

With Muse ramping, Meta back at the AI intelligence frontier with Wonder Full, and its advertising business operating well as it benefits from greater relevancy across engagement and advertising, we believe our rating and price target are justified.

We note Meta trades at a 1-turn premium to Google at current levels based on our earnings per share estimates.”
