Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 22% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 15, 2025
Meta may rebound over the next few months. The price looks washed out, and trading has steadied even though one common signal still points down. A $40b AI data center plan led by BlackRock and Nvidia suggests rising demand that can help Meta's AI-powered ads. Lemonade naming Meta's AI VP to its board shows strong leadership. Ad spending can swing, but the setup still favors a recovery.
Primary drivers
- Price looks beaten down while investor mood and interest remain solid
- Rising AI spending across the industry supports Meta's ads and AI tools
- A $40b data center plan signals strong compute demand that benefits Meta
- New board member with deep AI leadership experience strengthens the team
