"On the other hand, Meta Platforms has more than 4 billion eyeballs on its social media applications globally. Thus, Meta Platforms is a force to be reckoned with and META stock could be poised for significant upside. In an optimistic scenario, the Meta Platforms share price could even reach $1,000 by the end of 2027 - but don't place any bets until you've reviewed the catalysts and concerns."
"Since 2025 is nearly over, we can assess the year's performance of Meta Platforms stock. The shares are up 11% year to date and are only up 5% over the past 12 months. That's a decent performance, but it's nothing to write home about. Frankly, META stock hasn't been so magnificent lately even though Meta Platforms is a member of the Magnificent Seven."
"Even with a strong finish in December of this year, META stock would need to gain around 25% in 2026 and another 25% in 2027. At least, we can say that Meta Platforms stock looks reasonably valued after a decent but not spectacular 2025. At the moment, Meta Platforms has a trailing 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 28.79x, which isn't excessive for a mega-cap technology firm."
Meta Platforms balances dominant social-media operations, Reality Labs metaverse development, and artificial intelligence initiatives under CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Reality Labs has disappointed some investors while core social apps attract over 4 billion users globally. META stock rose modestly in 2025, up 11% year-to-date and 5% over 12 months, trading near $650 with a trailing P/E of 28.79x. Achieving a $1,000 share price by end-2027 would require roughly a 54% total increase, implying about 25% annual gains in 2026 and 2027. Sustained advertising revenue growth and stronger financial results are necessary to support meaningful upside.
