Investing.com - Citizens JMP has raised its price target on Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) to $900.00 from $750.00, while maintaining a Market Outperform rating. The tech giant, currently trading at $695.21 with a market capitalization of $1.75 trillion, maintains impressive gross profit margins of 81.77% and shows strong financial health according to InvestingPro analysis.

The firm believes Meta is uniquely positioned to benefit from artificial intelligence due to its scale of data and user distribution, which allows the company to quickly implement and see gains from AI advancements.

Citizens JMP notes that Meta’s core function of recommending content to approximately 3.5 billion users across nearly unlimited posts, including content from over 12 million active advertisers, presents a challenging problem that AI can help solve.

The research firm suggests it is still early in realizing Meta’s AI benefits for recommendations, while more transformational experiences such as personalized AI content, automated ad creative, and super intelligence remain as future benefits.

Based on these factors, Citizens JMP has increased its 2026 revenue estimate for Meta by 6%, believing that advertising revenue growth is increasingly sustainable for the company.

In other recent news, Meta Platforms Inc. reported stronger-than-expected financial results for the second quarter of 2025. The company achieved an earnings per share (EPS) of $7.14, significantly surpassing the forecasted $5.85, marking a 22.05% surprise. Revenue for the quarter reached $47.5 billion, exceeding expectations by 6.26%. These results highlight Meta’s robust performance during this period. Additionally, the company’s stock experienced a rise in aftermarket trading. These developments reflect Meta’s ability to outperform analyst projections. Investors will likely pay close attention to these figures as they assess Meta’s financial health.
