Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 17 days.
The thesis — published June 23, 2026
Meta's ad business is still strong and costs are under control, while new AI-enabled glasses give a clear product story. Near-term risks include consumer spending and regulation. After a recent pullback the stock looks like it could stabilize first rather than immediately resume a strong uptrend.
Primary drivers
- Profits from advertising remain a steady financial base
- AI glasses reinforce the consumer AI growth storyline
- Price looks fair given the company's growth prospects
- Recent overselling raises the chance of a short-term rebound
