In addition to lauding cost-cutting measures across the company and pointing to positive ad spending prospects across Meta’s platforms, Cowen’s John Blackledge forecasted Meta should pull in $5 billion in revenue from Threads next year in a base-case scenario.
Cowen is one of nine firms to upgrade its price target for Meta after it debuted Threads, according to FactSet data; among those more bullish on the company is Global Equities Research, which set a $400 price target for Meta last week.
A $400 share price would be the highest in Meta’s history and send its market capitalization from about $800 billion to just over $1 trillion, making it one of just seven trillion-dollar companies in the world.
