Meta’s Positive Catalysts

The current “political and economic uncertainty actually increases Meta’s engagement,” said Mogharabi. And the longer its users stay on the platform, the more ad inventory it can sell, the investor noted. Although the prices that Meta can obtain for its ads may drop, the declines may be offset by the higher volumes, Mogharabi believes.

Meanwhile, small and medium businesses are increasing their inventories ahead of the tariffs, and they will “have to sell those products,” the investor stated. Consequently, the tariffs will likely not impact Meta’s financial results negatively “until a quarter from now,” he predicted.
