Wall Street Favors Meta Platforms as Top Trillion-Dollar Stock Amid AI Spending Spree
Meta Platforms (META) has emerged as Wall Street's top trillion-dollar stock pick, with analysts projecting 22% upside to a median price target of $880. The social media giant's aggressive $67 billion capital expenditure plan for AI infrastructure sets it apart from cloud competitors who rent out compute resources.
Unlike hyperscalers that monetize AI through cloud services, Meta's entire AI budget fuels proprietary algorithms powering its social media feeds and future generative AI applications. This vertical integration positions the company to capture disproportionate value from AI advancements across both short-term engagement metrics and long-term technological breakthroughs.
