尽管分析师对Meta的覆盖面给予了积极评价，但Meta Platforms股票（NASDAQ：META）周二仍在走低。以下是您需要了解的情况。
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.
分析师Shweta Khajuria在新的客户备忘录中提到，Meta作为领先的社交媒体平台，由于规模优势，健康的营业收入增长和数字广告客户必须使用的广告平台而受益。
Khajuria noted that Meta could potentially benefit from ongoing AI-led product development, driving user engagement and ROI for advertisers.
Khajuria指出，Meta有可能从不断发展的以人工智能为导向的产品开发中获益，从而推动数字广告客户的用户参与度和回报率。
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.
该分析师称，该公司正在大力投资于人工智能和元宇宙，并可能在这些技术长期领域中成为领导者。增长加速预期由于人工智能在广告产品、Reels、点击到消息和价格优化方面的投资。
"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说：“我们的超额表现评级基于我们的长期观点，即该公司的规模、人工智能投资、类别领导地位和产品催化剂应该使Meta能够超越数字广告市场，获得规模并产生新的营收来源。”
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.
尽管该分析师指出，考虑到增长调整的基础上估值是“合理的”，但风险包括长期的投资周期而没有意义的成本削减，缺乏重要的近期增长动力以及考虑到最近的涨势，多重扩张的空间有限。根据Benzinga Pro的数据，Meta股票年初至今上涨约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说，Meta目前的交易价格约为预期收益的22倍，但Wolfe Research认为有扩展到26倍收益的空间。
META Price Action: Meta shares were down 1.25% at $489.92 at the time of writing, according to Benzinga Pro.
