Meta Surges as AI Strategy Gains Momentum

Meta Platforms jumped over 6.5% Wednesday, adding $111 billion in market cap, driven by the Muse Spark AI model launch and improved geopolitical sentiment. The stock continued rising 2.6% Thursday as Meta repositions itself as an AI infrastructure leader. The company's upcoming monetization efforts, including shopping mode and API access, are seen as key revenue drivers. With a forward P/E of 20.26x and a PEG of 0.91, Meta remains one of the cheapest Magnificent 7 stocks, earning a maintained buy rating despite near-term ad revenue risks.
