Meta Platforms (META) Nabs Overweight Rating—Is $700 in the Cards?

Wall Street’s latest love letter to Meta: an Overweight rating. But can Zuckerberg’s empire really punch through to $700—or is this just another analyst daydream fueled by espresso and spreadsheet hopium? Bulls point to ad revenue resilience and AI bets; skeptics whisper ’metaverse money pit.’ Either way, strap in—this stock’s got more volatility than a crypto trader’s mood ring.

META Gets New Rating as Stock Bounces Back Tuesday

At the start of the week, US President Donald Trump targeted Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. He was seeking the chairman’s termination, with the stock market plummeting as a result. However, things turned around on Tuesday for some of the biggest companies in the world.

Chief among them is Meta Platforms (META), with the stock getting a new rating and all eyes on its $700 potential. Throughout the day, the stock rebounded more than 2.5%. Yet, that wasn’t enough to reverse its 19% drop over the last 30 days as it settles below the $500 mark.

Still, the stock has suffered from a less-than-optimistic price outlook. Specifically, Cantor Fitzgerald recently lowered its price target to $624 from its previous $790 projection. Moreover, they gave the stock an ‘overweight’ rating, with its Q1 earnings report looming next week.

The firm expects that data to be “mixed” with ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties and geopolitical concerns. With tariffs and a brewing trade war present, hopes for Stellar earnings reports have lessened. However, the overwhelming sentiment for META is still bullish.

The company has a median price target of $725, up 46% from its current position. Moreover, its high-end projection sits at $900, showcasing its 81% upside potential. Alternatively, it has only 9% downside risk, according to CNN, with a low-end projection sitting at $448.
