Key points
- Met -platforms of insiders are sold as MAD, including General Director of Mark Zuckerberg, who sold billions of shares.
- Nevertheless, the purchase of the company compensates for it, and analysts and institutional moods provide a fair wind for the market.
- Meta shares can reach new maximums until the end of the first quarter and get another $ 100 for trading over $ 800 until the middle of the year.
Met -platforms (NASDAQ: META) sell shares, and data cause anxiety. Insideradus track 56 transactions for 90 days, leading in mid -February and 189 in twelve months, and activity consistently increases in 2024 and in the first quarter of 2025. This speaks of something, because Q1 is only half, and meteoric growth in the reserve can save insiders eliminated. The cost of META Platforms shares increased by 100% a little more than a year after about 250% in 12 months of previous, which will provide quite an opportunity for capital growth.
Mark Tsuckerburg unloads a billion metals.
Among the most alarming details is that General Director Mark Zuckerberg leads the package, selling more than $ 2 billion and grow. Nevertheless, insiders still own almost 14% of shares and have significant skin in the game. Their sales are worried, but they correspond to compensation based on shares, and they should be expected at a high price of shares. Other mitigating factors include the company’s ransom program, which will be strengthened over time. This reduced the number of shares by 1.2% in the annual calculus for 4 quarters and 0.6% per year, compensating for the dilution and management of the lever of shareholders.
Institutions are another softening factor. The balance of their activities was mixed quarterly in 2024, but during the year he scored shares, including profit in the first and fourth quarter. The purchase trend lasted until the first quarter of 2025, and their property is almost 80%, which provides a fair wind to compensate for insider sales. The toilet wind is strong because institutions and insiders leave only about 5% of the shares for retail merchants accumulating shares.
Analysts trends indicate higher prices for this technical action, so insider sales are probably not a serious problem. This can lead to short -term periods of volatility, including minor price kickbacks, but these are probably the possibilities for buying, which will lead to higher prices. Trends in 2025 include solid moods, a moderate purchase rating with bull bias and a growing target price of consensus. The bias is optimistic, because 37 out of 43 analysts tracked by insiders tie the action in the purchase or higher, almost 80%, and the trend in the price revision. The consensus target price involves a fair value of about 715 US dollars, but in two weeks it increased by 10% from the moment the 4th quarter was released, while recent goals lead to a level of $ 800 to 900. This is an increase in 12% at the lower end and a new record.
META business results stimulate the mood of the bull market
The reason for the price increase is the results. Meta Platforms turns into a Blue-Chip technological company, which can withstand the test of time. The year of efficiency in 2023 led to the year of AI in 2024, which was united to improve the indicators, impressions and income of users in addition to the quality of work. A pure result is the two -digit growth of revenue, the expansion of margin and the prospects for maintaining these trends. Investments in AI are reduced in cash flow in 2025, but do not affect the prospects for the return of capital and will probably contribute to accelerated growth in the following quarters.
Meta Platforms shares are traded with a premium on S&P 500, but with a discount on their colleagues from a blue chip. The multiple in mid -February is about 28 times income, and the P/E ratio falls below 25x by 2026 and up to 15x or lower by 2030. In this scenario, the price of shares can double to align its value with Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Apple (Nasdaq: Aapl). Until then, investors can a bank for META dividends. META’s profitability is not reliable, but is also not a payment coefficient, which suggests that a sustainable increase in distribution is possible and can be supported for many years. The possibility for investors is an annual increase in distribution for the preparation of shareholders and provide additional force for individual winds in the market.
The action for the price of shares in the beginning of 2025 is bull. The meta-west market is growing, forming a strong pole of a flag, which can lead to consolidation. The market may continue to move higher in this scenario, gaining an amount equal to the flagpole in the framework of a similar one. Assuming that the new maximum in the first quarter of 2025, meta-races can grow by $ 115 to the region $ 830 by the middle of the year.
