META trades cheaper than the S&P 500 at 19x forward earnings despite 28% revenue growth and 3.6 billion daily users powering its ad engine.
Zuckerberg's AI ad upgrades drove a 15.7% conversion uplift on Facebook, with Advantage Plus already running at a $75 billion annual rate.

I've been watching Meta (NASDAQ:META) trade like the market forgot what it owns. Shares sit at $648.03, down 1.66% year to date and off 13.42% over the past year, even as CEO Mark Zuckerberg told investors that Meta's ad business is posting "faster year over year revenue growth than any other company's reported ad business."
That disconnect is why I think $900 in 2027 is a serious conversation.
META Price Target — 24/7 Wall St.Why Wall Street Is Already Halfway There
The Street's consensus price target is $757.31, backed by 47 Buy and 8 Strong Buy ratings against zero Sell calls. Analysts model 2027 EPS of $33.94 on revenue of roughly $306 billion, with the high end reaching $40.31 in EPS.
Estimates have drifted lower on legal charges and capex, but the top of the range shows what bulls see if AI monetization compounds.
META Analyst Ratings — 24/7 Wall St.Math to $900 Per Share
Meta trades at a forward P/E of 19, cheaper than the S&P 500's roughly 22x multiple despite quarterly revenue growth of 28% year over year and a 30.1% net profit margin. At $900, Meta would trade around 27x consensus 2027 EPS.
Hit the high-end $40.31 estimate and the multiple compresses to just 22x. For a business with 30.24% ROE and 3.6 billion daily users, that is not demanding.

AI ad engine: Meta says internal model upgrades drove an 8.3% increase in ad clicks and a 15.7% uplift in conversions on Facebook, with Advantage Plus at a $75 billion annual run rate.
Superintelligence Labs: Zuckerberg said "We're on track to deliver personal superintelligence to billions of people."
Enterprise agents: More than 1 million businesses already use Meta business agents weekly.
Ray-Ban Meta glasses: Zuckerberg called them "one of the fastest growing consumer electronics of all time", with a Connect refresh set for September 23, 2026.
Beat history: Meta topped EPS estimates every quarter from Q1 2024 through Q1 2026 before the Q2 miss tied to one-time charges.
History Says This Kind of Move Is on the Menu
A move to $900 requires roughly 39% upside. Meta has cleared that bar repeatedly, including a 72.61% gain over five years and 413.83% over ten. Quantitative models point to a 12-month base case of $810.08 and a bull case of $860.61.
META Price Scenario — 24/7 Wall St.Bottom Line on $900
The risks are real. $2.4 billion in Q2 legal charges, Reality Labs losses near $4 billion per quarter, and $130 to $145 billion in 2026 capex squeezed free cash flow to just $784 million last quarter.
But with a cheap multiple, an ad engine still growing 27%, and a credible AI product roadmap, $900 in 2027 is the blueprint. Returns like that are never a given, but Meta has the machinery to deliver them.
