Goldman Sachs expects the stock to be among the best in the SP500 in 2024. But the consensus forecast for Meta's stocks is bearish. Experts expect a 5-10% decrease in stock prices over the next month. The forecasted price after the next 12 months is $465.

BeatMarket experts maintain a neutral position. We believe that the price correction is technical in nature. Meta still has potential for capitalization growth.

Meta has been in an uptrend since October 2023. In April 2024, this trend was broken, and the stock prices began to correct. There is a high likelihood of this correction continuing:

On most timeframes, technical analysis tools signal a sell. The stock price is above the moving averages only on the higher timeframes (W1 and MN1).

On the price chart, there is a candlestick pattern - Three Black Crows. This bearish pattern is observed on the M30 timeframe and is highly reliable.

On the D1 timeframe, the STOCHRSI(14) and Williams %R indicators suggest that the stocks are oversold. However, the RSI indicator remains neutral.

As of the writing of this review, the stock prices are near the support zone. A break below this could lead to the realization of a negative scenario. The potential drop could be up to 25% from the current price.

If the stock prices return to an upward trend, the nearest resistance level could be around $502.

In 2022, the company's reports reflected a decline in revenue and a net loss. But as early as 2023, the situation has changed. Over the last 12 months Meta's revenue exceeded the value of 2021. And net profit approached the level of 2020. The relevant data from the issuer's financial documents are presented in the table. 

In terms of P/E multiple Meta looks quite expensive. Its value exceeds the market average by about 1.5 times. However, the PEG multiple indicates the attractiveness of the company's stock. As of mid-January 2024, it is only 0.85. For comparison, Apple has a PEG ratio of 2.23.

Information on Meta's other key multiples can be found below.

Meta's consensus revenue forecast for the next 5 years comes with a promise of steady growth. But Stockanalysis believes that this figure will increase at a much slower pace than in 2018-2021. 

Despite this, the market assesses Meta's prospects in a positive way. Most analysts give bullish forecasts on a 5-year horizon. Experts believe in the potential of the business and the company's ability to maintain leadership in its niche. 

A few pessimists believe that the events of 2022 may be repeated in the near future. They believe that Meta's stock value could fall by 2 times. The unfavourable external background and market disappointment in the idea of the Meta Universe may be the catalyst for such a decline. 

But even such pessimistic forecasts promise a quick recovery. And all predictions of the company's value in 5 years are at least 80% above the current price.

Ali Mogharab of iMorningstar points out the following strengths of Meta:

• growing user base;

• positive engagement trends;

• growing monetisation.

There are other bullish drivers. They will act on Meta quotes in the next 5 years. First and foremost is the expanding use of artificial intelligence to sell advertising. And the expansion of the Meta universe. 

But bearish factors should not be neglected. The key one is potential conflicts with the regulatory authorities. Competition and decreasing user engagement play an equally important role.

The most optimistic forecast is provided by the longforecast.com platform. According to its publications, in the next 5 years, quotations will overcome the $1500 mark. 

BeatMarket analysts believe that this can only happen under certain conditions. The key one is the realization of the potential of the Metaverse. We expect the company to maintain its leadership in social media. Our moderate forecast is for the stock to double in value over a 5-year horizon. But macroeconomic factors may bring adjustments to the growth rate of the stock price.

Most experts are positive about Meta's performance in 2024. Most are confident that the company's achievements will serve as a foundation for the growth of its quotations by the end of 2024. 

Justin Post at Bank of America believes that Meta will demonstrate significant growth in profits per stock in 2024.

NASDAQ consensus forecast for Meta's stock in 2024:

• minimum price - $450;

• average price - $554.27;

• maximum price - $610.

The investing.com service offers some other data. Under it, some experts warn about falling quotations to $400 again. BeatMarket specialists do not share such pessimism. Here is our forecast in the table below.

Meta's potential revenue in 2025 is between $156bn and $195.8bn. EPS is within the range of $16.5bn to $26.58. This is the forecast published on the Stockanalysis service. This exceeds the results of the previous year. Therefore, analysts expect to see a corresponding increase in quotations. 

See a brief overview of Meta's price forecasts for 2025:

• $461 — by The Wall Street;

• $539-$765 — by Stockscan;

• $957-$1167 — by longforecast.com.

Even the most pessimistic prediction can be considered bullish. It promises growth of about 15% from current levels. 

BeatMarket experts believe that there is every reason to expect Meta to rise further. We believe that the $550 threshold will be passed in the coming years. 

Based on the results of 2026, Meta also promises revenue and profit growth. As of today, Wall Street experts do not see any reasons that could lead to falling of the company's quotations. 

All forecasts for 2026 for Meta are bullish, differing only in terms of the analysts' degree of optimism:

• Stocksforecasts platform expects quotations between $535.85 and $558.5;

• Stockscan service assumes that the stock price will be in the range of $579-$1027;

• longforecast.com is the most optimistic and predicts the price at the level of $1143-$1383.

The key factor will remain the level of Meta's advertising revenue. But the development rate of the Meta Universe will also have an impact on the company's quotations. As the market believes in the reality of Musk's promises, the stock price will consolidate above $1000.

Among the bullish factors for Meta is the increased use of artificial intelligence. The company has already demonstrated that its application boosts user engagement. The second factor that could play a key role as early as in the next few years is Meta Universe.

The extent to which experts believe in Musk's idea affects their predictions. This leads to a significant difference in valuations. 

Take a brief look at Meta's stock price forecasts by the end of 2027:

• minimum level - $605;

• moderate scenario - $730.

• maximum prediction - $1632.

BeatMarket experts consider Metaview a promising project. But we believe that the company will need time to implement it properly. Therefore, we do not expect Meta's stock price to exceed $1200. 

According to Stockanalysis experts, Meta's revenue could hit $253bn in 2028. The EPS forecast is up to $31.78. 

Experts list different possible prices of the stock as numbers ranging from $714 to $1488. Even the pessimistic forecast gives the growth of quotations by 80% for 5 years. This company's securities are attractive as an asset in the long term. 

BeatMarket analysts also have a positive view of Meta's future. We believe that the company's management will take into account the failures of 2022. The balance between innovation and maintaining revenue growth will be the main factor of success. When the company finds this equilibrium point, its quotations may consolidate above $1000.
