Meta Platforms Inc (Media) trades at $648.85 with a market capitalization of $1.65T.
Revenue grew +27.7% year-over-year on a trailing basis. Trailing net profit margin sits at 29.8%. At a trailing P/E of 26.1, the market is pricing in moderate growth expectations. The balance sheet carries a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.28 — a notably clean capital structure.
The 52-week range spans $520.26 to $779.82. Current price sits -16.8% from the high and +25% from the low — a controlled pullback from recent highs.
Price sits above the 200-day average ($632.56) but below the 50-day ($662.86) — a pullback within a larger uptrend, or the early stages of a trend change. The 14-day RSI at 36.8 is in neutral territory. MACD histogram is negative at -12.46, indicating waning short-term momentum.
Performance: 30-day return +0.7%, 90-day +9.3%, 1-year -11.5%. Maximum drawdown over the trailing year reached -30.1%. Annualized volatility sits at 42.6% — elevated but not extreme, typical of growth names.
As of 2026-10-01, 69 analysts cover META: 20 Strong Buy, 41 Buy, 7 Hold, 1 Sell, 0 Strong Sell. The consensus skew is decisively bullish. Bullish coverage has contracted versus the prior month — worth watching.
The most recent earnings (2026-09-30) beat expectations: actual EPS of $7.40 versus consensus of $5.79 (+1.61 surprise). A 27.8% positive surprise.
The composite rating of Accumulate (7/10) reflects strength across fundamentals and analyst sentiment. Thesis breaks if analyst revisions turn sharply negative or earnings execution falters.
