Valuation53/ 100

Upside potential46/ 100
Risk potential24/ 100

META's valuation appears fair, fundamentals are above averages, but weaker than expected earnings are holding it back.

Score change since last week

The score rose 1 point, mainly due to valuation and price changes. Price rose 6.7%, from $578.02 to $616.77.

Valuation and price changes added 0.8 points. The comparison uses the same available inputs on both dates. Displayed changes are rounded to whole points.

Valuation

Historical cheapness: current PE is 24.4× versus the full-history median of 26.7× shown in the valuation table, producing 56.1/100. Positive weekly observations receive equal weight; lower past EPS alone does not disqualify them.

Outlook-adjusted valuation: 52.8/100. The model applies a 4.8% earnings-growth assumption and a 10% annual return hurdle, with positive credit limited by evidence coverage and confidence.

Forward price scenarios use recent PE history separately. Recent history has a separately weighted median of 26.3× (18-month half-life). The favorable scenario uses 26.1× PE and $29.8 projected EPS, informed by growth, margins and earnings-quality checks. This is a model scenario, not an analyst target. A return to the full-history median is not assumed.

Cash flow & growth

Business trends are mixed. Over the past year: revenue +27.7%, earnings -3.9%, operating margin -5.9 percentage points. Free cash flow is 18% of revenue. The business score is 57.9/100. Growth, margins and cash generation drive the score. Missing or older data receives less weight.

Favorable scenario

Stronger earnings and valuation could support a higher share price.

Our favorable case uses $29.84 of EPS and a 26.1× PE, suggesting a share price of about $778.17. Valuation history and outlook inform the PE.

The displayed favorable scenario is 20.1% upside, or about $778.28.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.

Downside scenario

Weaker than expected earnings could put pressure on the share price.

Our downside case uses $22.79 of EPS and a 21.8× PE, suggesting a share price of about $495.75 — 24% below today’s price. Valuation history and outlook inform the PE.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.
