1. Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 262

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) builds the future of human connection and the technology that makes it possible. The firm has two reportable segments, the ‘Family of Apps’, including Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and other services, and the ‘Reality Labs’, which includes its virtual, augmented, and mixed reality-related consumer hardware, software, and content.

Although analysts believe in the company’s long-term growth potential and AI tailwinds, several price targets for the stock have been cut down considering the current macro uncertainties. Amid concerns about the firm’s performance in the second quarter and beyond, potentially impacted by the tariffs, TD Cowen analysts reduced the price target on the stock to $725 from $785 while keeping a Buy rating. However, the analysts anticipate solid Q1 2025 results, with total revenue near the upper end of management’s guidance and advertising revenue expected to rise approximately 17% year-over-year (foreign exchange impacts excluded). Simultaneously, Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak lowered the price target to $615 from $660 while maintaining an Overweight rating on the stock, taking into account macroeconomic factors as well as tariff challenges impacting e-commerce and digital advertising sectors. Morgan Stanley has reduced estimates for its North American internet stock coverage across the board.

As we acknowledge the growth potential of META, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold great promise for delivering high returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%.
