Meta Platforms (META) Stock Gains Momentum Ahead of Q3 Earnings Amid AI Boom and Regulatory Tailwinds
Meta Platforms (META) shares are climbing despite a 4% monthly decline, buoyed by Optimism around its Q3 2025 earnings report and favorable regulatory developments in the EU. Analysts project an 11.8% YoY profit increase to $6.74 per share, with Wall Street labeling the stock a Strong Buy. Price targets from Goldman Sachs ($870), Wolfe Research ($730), and Guggenheim ($875) reflect confidence in Meta's AI infrastructure leadership and revenue growth trajectory.
The company's Q2 performance—$47.5B revenue (up 22% YoY) and $7.14 EPS—sets a strong precedent. As antitrust settlements loom in Europe, Meta's dual catalysts of regulatory relief and AI-driven earnings momentum position it as a standout in the tech sector's earnings season.
