Citi reiterated its Buy rating and $800 price target on $META, calling it one of the firm’s Top Picks across the internet sector ahead of Meta Connect on Sept. 23-24.
Citi expects updates around Meta’s AI product strategy, including Muse, whose app downloads have recently exceeded Instagram and Facebook on several days, and a potential launch of Meta’s next foundation model, internally codenamed “Watermelon.”
Citi says newer AI products should drive higher engagement and monetization over time as Meta’s compute capacity expands into 2027.
