Investor confidence remains strong as Meta aggressively invests in artificial intelligence. CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed plans to spend up to $65 billion on capital expenditures in 2025, calling it a “defining year for AI.” This commitment has fueled optimism that Meta’s AI investments will drive long-term profitability.

Wall Street analysts remain bullish. RBC Capital’s Brad Erickson raised his price target to $800, citing Meta’s leadership in AI and its broad growth potential. Rosenblatt’s Barton Crockett increased his target to $846, stating that no company is more committed to AI than Meta.
With its AI-driven vision, Meta is positioning itself as a dominant force in the tech industry, and investors are taking notice.
