Meta stock hits $712 after August call
Meta shares have jumped sharply since late August, and the case for more upside rests on the idea that the stock is still cheap for what the company is building.
- Meta has climbed from the mid-$500s in late August to over $700, beating a $700 target set for this week.
- The company's new Muse product, which brings AI agents to ordinary users, has gone viral and is being pushed hard with ads and creator partnerships.
- Amazon blocking Muse-style bots is being read as a sign the product works, since bans tend to draw more attention.
- Scale is the core argument: Meta reaches 3.2 billion daily users versus about 400 million monthly for X's Grok.
- AI agents hurt advertising for order-taking apps like DoorDash and Wingstop, but make ads on Facebook, X, YouTube, and Netflix more valuable because a real person is still watching.
Outlook: Meta is seen as still undervalued at current prices, with the agent push expected to keep feeding its advertising business.
