My Shocking Meta Stock Prediction

Parkev Tatevosian, CFA•Aug 15, 2026

Summary

Parkev outlines a detailed growth thesis for Meta Platforms, emphasizing that the company's fundamentals remain strong despite a disappointing share price performance in 2026. Parkev uses a scenario analysis based on Wall Street's 2028 earnings estimate of $41.67 per share to project future valuations. Parkev highlights that the current forward P/E ratio of 16.6 is near multi-year lows, suggesting that any expansion in valuation multiples could lead to significant gains for shareholders.

Meta Platforms (META): Parkev projects a base case price target of $750 to $800 by the end of 2027, which implies a return of approximately 34% from the current price of $578. Parkev points to AI-driven improvements in user engagement and advertiser ROI as primary catalysts, alongside potential non-core revenue from data center rentals and LLM token sales. Parkev warns that while user decline is a risk, Meta's massive scale of investment makes it difficult for competitors to keep pace.

Nvidia (NVDA): Parkev mentions that he recently upgraded Nvidia to his number one stock to buy, moving Meta Platforms to the second position in his rankings. Parkev considers Nvidia to have a more compelling immediate ranking, although he remains highly optimistic about Meta's long-term prospects. Parkev also notes that he will be conducting exclusive live earnings coverage for Nvidia for his channel members on August 26.

S&P 500 Index: Parkev compares Meta's 12.3% decline in 2026 to the S&P 500's gain of over 10% during the same period. Parkev states that this comparison highlights the current investor disappointment and lack of focus regarding Meta's AI strategy, which has contributed to the stock's temporary lagging performance.
