Rothschild Encourages Investors to Buy Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) on Any Post-Q4 Weakness

We recently compiled a list of the 20 Most Profitable Stocks of the Last 20 Years. Meta Platforms, Inc. is placed second on our list.

TheFly reported on January 26 that Rothschild & Co Redburn upgraded META from Neutral to Buy and raised its price target to $900 from $740. The firm noted that while higher costs could push 2026 earnings estimates lower and cause shares to dip in the short term, it sees a disconnect between the current stock price and META’s long-term value. Rothschild argued that at current levels, the upside potential outweighs near-term risks and suggested that investors use any weakness following the Q4 report to start building positions.

Separately, earlier on January 23, Stifel lowered its price target for Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) to $785 from $875 and maintained a Buy rating. The update came as part of the firm’s Q4 digital advertising review. While Q4 results were supported by strong performance, particularly from Instagram Reels, Stifel noted that investor focus is likely to shift toward META’s total and capital expenditure projections for 2026.
