Meta Platforms Stock Soars Despite Weak Business PerformanceCan you believe it? Meta Platforms stock has risen by over 70% this year, outpacing the S&P 500's 7.5% growth over the same period. At first glance, it might seem like everything is going great for Meta, right? However, the reality is a bit different. In the fourth quarter, Meta reported a 4% decline in year-over-year earnings, and analysts predict that there will be another decline in the first quarter (which we'll find out on Wednesday). So, why is the stock rising so quickly despite the weak business performance?
Well, there are a couple of reasons. First, at the beginning of the year, the stock had a very low valuation, with a price-to-earnings ratio of about 10. Analysts expected the company to have double-digit growth in earnings per share over the next five years, but the low valuation didn't reflect this. The recent surge in the stock price has brought it more in line with analysts' expectations, so you could say that the stock has adjusted to a more rational valuation.
The second reason for the stock's growth is the cost-cutting efforts by Facebook, Meta's parent company. Mark Zuckerberg has made "a year of efficiency" his top management theme for 2023, and the cost reductions are expected to lead to significant earnings growth during the year, which investors believe will boost profits and support the stock's current valuation.
However, it's worth noting that Meta has continued to post disappointing results since 2021, and the stock is still down from its all-time highs. Meta's business is still facing considerable uncertainty, and there are questions about the company's long-term margin profile and sustainability. The volatility of the social media company's cost structure over the past few years also makes it difficult to predict earnings changes over the long term.
While the recent stock price increase is good news for Meta shareholders, it also means that the stakes are higher for the company to do exceptionally well going forward. Investors will be looking for more information about the company's long-term margin profile and the sustainability of its business when Meta presents its first-quarter results on Wednesday.
NASDAQ - Expecting a deeper pullbackHi there, traders!
After yesterday’s drop, the U.S. stock market got a breather on Tuesday evening as Big Tech earnings began to roll out, led by better than expected reports for Google and Microsoft.
Looking at things from a technical perspective, we do anticipate the price to continue dropping today due to some key trends on the Daily and 4H timeframes. If we see a consolidation underneath the 4H trendline, it’s likely that the price will continue to drop.

META - Short Term ReversalMETA has encountered a short term trend line that was previously a support line but now is being tested as resistance
this is a good opportunity for price to be rejected and recovery a bit lower
I have shown this lower recovery with the bars pattern tool.
This would be sort of a scuffed inverted head and shoulders if the price falls down a little.
Meta Platforms:Overcoming Challenges and Embracing OpportunitiesMeta Platforms, formerly known as Facebook, has undergone significant changes in recent years, with a tarnished reputation due to numerous data breaches. However, the company has made efforts to address these issues, and now faces new challenges. One such challenge is the impact of the economic downturn on its primary source of revenue - online advertising. This has led to a decline in revenue, with profits falling for the first time in a while. Nonetheless, the online advertising market is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 14.7% through 2027, providing an opportunity for Meta Platforms to recover.
One advantage of Meta Platforms is its vast user base of 3.74 billion monthly active users, providing an ecosystem too large to ignore. Moreover, the company is making strides to monetize some of its apps such as WhatsApp, with paid messaging services gaining momentum. Additionally, Facebook Reels and e-commerce markets provide significant long-term opportunities for the company to generate revenue.
Despite its recent struggles, Meta Platforms is implementing cost-cutting initiatives and restructuring efforts to improve its financial performance. While the company's investment in the metaverse, a potential HKEX:1 trillion opportunity, is yet to yield results, it is expected to pay off in the long term.
In conclusion, Meta Platforms' revenue is expected to increase in the next few years, making it a worthwhile investment.
FaceBook (META) - Long-Term Approach to Big Gains.Hello All,
As we can see Facebook (Meta) has sold off almost 50%. On a fear and greed chart, we would be entering the fear stage which is now presenting us with good long-term buying opportunities. In the chart we labeled three areas to start Dollar Cost Averaging back into Facebook (META). In the first area, we would allocate the smallest portion while the final area would be a larger portion.
This is for long-term holding and not trading.
The markets are extremely uncertain currently. At the end of last year, we have sent warnings to get out of the tech sector, due to high levels of greed and overextended markets propped up by money printing, new investors & news narratives. Now that these stocks are coming back to earth we are presented with new long-term opportunities over the coming months.
