Market Sentiment Analysis
Equity futures are sliding this morning with oil prices surging after the US military briefed President Trump on military action after he stated he would continue the blockade of Iranian ports until a nuclear deal is reached. This has increased the risk of economic stagflation. On the earnings front, Meta and Microsoft fell in after-market action, while Alphabet and Qualcomm surged, and markets await Apple earnings after the bell today.
Meta Platforms Fundamental Analysis
Meta Platforms is one of the world’s biggest spenders on research & development, a member of the US Big Five Tech Companies, and the Magnificent Seven. It is an industry leader in the metaverse and has now embarked on a hiring spree to become a leader in advanced AI and superintelligence.
So, why am I bullish on META despite its post-earnings sell-off?
Meta Platforms reported revenues of $56.31 billion with earnings per share of $10.44, beating expectations of $55.56 billion and $6.67, respectively, while shares plunged in after-hours markets amid increased capex guidance. Still, I am buying the dip amid low valuations, its dominant advertising performance, sustained user engagement despite legal challenges, and upbeat 2026 guidance.
