儘管分析師對Meta的覆蓋面給予了積極評價，但Meta Platforms股票（NASDAQ：META）週二仍在走低。以下是您需要了解的情況。
What To Know: Wolfe Research initiated coverage on Meta Tuesday with an Outperform rating and price target of $620, representing potential upside of about 24% from current share prices.

In a new note to clients, analyst Shweta Khajuria highlighted Meta's position as a leading social media platform, benefiting from scale, healthy top-line growth and a must-have ad platform for digital advertisers.
分析師Shweta Khajuria在新的客戶備忘錄中提到，Meta作爲領先的社交媒體平台，由於規模優勢，健康的營業收入增長和數字廣告客戶必須使用的廣告平台而受益。
Khajuria noted that Meta could potentially benefit from ongoing AI-led product development, driving user engagement and ROI for advertisers.
Khajuria指出，Meta有可能從不斷髮展的以人工智能爲導向的產品開發中獲益，從而推動數字廣告客戶的用戶參與度和回報率。
The company is investing heavily in AI and the metaverse and could be positioning itself as a leader in these technologies long term, the analyst said, adding that revenue growth acceleration is expected due to AI investments in ad products, Reels, click-to-message and price optimizations.
該分析師稱，該公司正在大力投資於人工智能和元宇宙，並可能在這些技術長期領域中成爲領導者。增長加速預期由於人工智能在廣告產品、Reels、點擊到消息和價格優化方面的投資。
"Our Outperform rating is based on our long-term view that the company's scale, AI investments, category leadership position, and product catalysts should enable META to outgrow the digital advertising market, gain scale, and generate new sources of revenue," Khajuria said.
Khajuria說：“我們的超額表現評級基於我們的長期觀點，即該公司的規模、人工智能投資、類別領導地位和產品催化劑應該使Meta能夠超越數字廣告市場，獲得規模併產生新的營收來源。”
Although the analyst noted that valuation is "reasonable" on a growth-adjusted basis, risks include a prolonged investment cycle without meaningful cost-cutting, lack of significant near-term growth drivers and limited room for multiple expansion given the recent rally. Meta shares are up approximately 38% year-to-date, per Benzinga Pro.
儘管該分析師指出，考慮到增長調整的基礎上估值是“合理的”，但風險包括長期的投資週期而沒有意義的成本削減，缺乏重要的近期增長動力以及考慮到最近的漲勢，多重擴張的空間有限。根據Benzinga Pro的數據，Meta股票年初至今上漲約38％。
Meta is currently trading at about 22 times forward earnings, but Wolfe Research sees room for multiple expansion to 26 times earnings, Khajuria said.
Khajuria說，Meta目前的交易價格約爲預期收益的22倍，但Wolfe Research認爲有擴展到26倍收益的空間。
