Meta Platforms Inc.

Meta Platforms shares rose 0.46% to $673.31, still 15% below the 52-week high of $790.80. The stock trades at a P/E of 22.26, supported by 27.7% revenue growth and a 29.8% net margin. Yet EPS growth slipped 3.7% year over year. The Alpha Score of 66.5 reflects strong momentum (71.4) and quality (78.9), but value scores only 47.2. A recent service outage knocked Facebook and Instagram offline for tens of thousands of users, highlighting platform risk. Meta's GF Value still shows a 22% discount, according to the same coverage. Separately, the IEA projects AI data center power use will reach 945 TWh by 2030, up from 415 TWh, boosting the investment case for Meta's infrastructure buildout. The tension between rising capex needs and EPS growth will be a focus next quarter.

The stock trades at 22.26 times earnings, with revenue growth of 27.7% outpacing a 3.7% drop in EPS growth. Net margin sits at 29.8%.

Separately, Tuesday's service outage knocking Facebook and Instagram offline for tens of thousands of users underscores platform risk even as Meta's GF Value implies a 22% discount. Forward watch: Second-half capex guidance and the next monthly user statistics will offer the clearest signals on whether margin trends can catch up with top-line momentum.
