Black pointed out that Meta had outperformed across all second-quarter metrics, with a 22% year-over-year increase in revenue, surpassing the estimated 20% year-over-year. He anticipated analysts would raise their FY'24 Meta estimates by approximately 5% following this performance. Despite a 34% year-to-date increase, Meta's 2024 P/E ratio remains reasonable at 23x, considering the expected revenue growth of 14% (1.6x PEG).
布萊克指出，Meta在第二季度表現出色，所有指標都表現優異，營收同比增長22%，超過了預期的20%同比增長，他預計分析師將在這一表現後將他們對FY'24的Meta估值提高約5%。儘管年初至今股票漲幅達34%，但考慮到預期營收增長14%（1.6倍PEG），Meta2024年市盈率在23倍時仍保持合理。
Why It Matters: Meta's second-quarter performance has been impressive, with the company beating analyst estimates on both revenue and EPS. This marks the sixth consecutive quarter of surpassing expectations.
爲什麼這很重要：Meta的第二季度表現出色，公司在營收和每股收益方面均超過了分析師的預期。這是公司第六個連續超過預期的季度。
The company reported a revenue of $39.07 billion, surpassing the estimated $38.31 billion, and an adjusted EPS of $5.16, beating the estimated $4.73.
該公司報告的營業收入爲390.7億美元，超過了預計的383.1億美元，並且每股調整後收益爲5.16美元，超過了預計的4.73美元。
Despite this strong financial performance, Meta has faced criticism for allegedly profiting from ads promoting illegal drugs on its platforms.
儘管表現強勁，但Meta因被指控在其平台上推廣非法藥物廣告而受到批評。
The company has also been under scrutiny for its AI assistant's false denial of an attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump, which Meta attributed to "hallucinations," a common issue in generative AI systems.
該公司的人工智能助手因否認對前總統唐納德·特朗普的暗殺企圖而備受關注，Meta將這歸咎於“幻覺”，這是生成式AI系統中的常見問題。
However, Meta has been working to integrate AI into its consumer products, as seen in the recent introduction of AI Studio, a feature that allows users to create custom AI chatbots for their profiles. This move is part of Meta's efforts to attract creators and integrate AI into its products.
然而，Meta一直在努力將人工智能整合到其消費產品中，正如最近推出的AI工作室功能所展示的那樣。該功能允許用戶爲其個人資料創建自定義AI聊天機器人，此舉是Meta吸引創作者並將人工智能整合到其產品中的努力的一部分。
