Meta's Ascent: $920 Target!

The Future of Meta Platforms

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) stands out as one of the notable artificial intelligence stocks on Wall Street. On October 16, Cantor Fitzgerald maintained its Overweight rating for the stock and set a target price of $920.00.

This rating came ahead of Google's expected advertising improvements for 2026. Cantor Fitzgerald compared current investor sentiment with concerns between Meta and Alphabet, which stemmed from risks associated with disruptions to the search engine in 2024.

In 2024, Alphabet's stock lagged behind Meta and Amazon, creating a %19 gap between them. However, the firm noted a swift improvement in sentiment due to the launch of Gemini 2.5 and the success of the Gemini application with AI summaries.

The firm expects Meta to experience a similar improvement process by 2026. Current market concerns could pave the way for renewed investor optimism. Overall, advancements in AI applications are expected to balance negative views and offer strong upside potential.

However, while the investment potential of META is acknowledged, some AI stocks are believed to have a greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
