Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 19% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published August 10, 2025
Meta's ad business is getting a lift from better AI tools, and the overall market mood is helpful. Short-term drops may not last because investors expect easier interest rates. Amazon reporting 18% growth in its ad sales hints that ad demand is healthy. Many more buyers than usual are active, so buying on down days and adding if momentum continues could work over the next 0-3 months. Keep an eye on rules and spending.
Primary drivers
- Amazon's ad sales up 18% suggests stronger demand for Meta's ads
- Uptrend looks firm; recent average price and buyer interest point up
- Optimism on AI and possible rate cuts helps the overall market mood
- Strong investor interest means dips get bought quickly
