Few high-tech companies META could do. Its social media network allows access to a large number of users, but it focuses on building unique technologies and AI developments. It could then become one of the most promising tech stocks to invest in the medium term.
The stock is struggling to launch in 2025, with a 9.5% YTD down, which means investment experts are mixed in predicting the immediate future of the meta. CNBC’s Mad Money host Jim Cramer recently expressed his thoughts on Metastock, but it’s not the best news for the Metacles. Speaking about crazy money, Cramer said that Meta could continue the downward spiral in 2025 due to several factors.
“I know Meta, that guy is on trial. Whatever, how long will it last? He gets injured by this de Minimis that Mark Zuckerberg has cut down on Temu and Shein’s ads.”
Since mid-February, META shares have lost 32%. However, stocks bounced a bit this week as tech companies rebounded in the market. Price forecasts by top banks and companies have been revised to paint a picture of meta stocks that are different from Cramer Drew.
Specifically, Cantor Fitzgerald recently reduced its price target to $624 from its previous $790 forecast. Additionally, they gave stocks a “overweight” rating, with their first quarter earnings report coming up next week. The company hopes that the data will be “mixed” with ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical concerns. The existence of tariffs and brewing trade wars has reduced hopes for a stellar revenue report. But Meta’s overwhelming sentiment remains bullish.
The company’s median price target is $725, up more than 40% from its current position. What’s more, its high-end projection is $900, indicating an 81% upside potential. Alternatively, according to CNN, if a low-end projection sits at $440, there is only a 9% downside risk.
