    $FB (Meta Platforms) Fundamental Analysis & Price Targets

    Posted: 28 Jan 2022 05:23 AM PST

    $FB (Meta Platforms) Fundamental Analysis & Price Targets

    Hello fellow investors! I'm going to share with you my opinion about $FB (Meta Platforms) formerly known as Facebook as well as go through their financials, do a fundamental analysis and set some price targets for this stock after the stock has been caught in the recent market turmoil!

    ~Tl;dr~ $FB (Meta Platforms) Is a Strong Buy Right Now

    Meta is one of the biggest technology companies in the world that owns platforms like Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus & many other products & services.

    My thoughts regarding the change of name are pretty mixed as it's obvious the company is trying to get away from the past scandals and whistleblowers & focus more towards the future as they are trying to lead the way into the "Metaverse" which has been one of the hottest topics of investing in recent times.

    It's always important to take a look at the competition of a company but in this regard, Meta, stands out for sure as the leader of social platforms, taking 4 of the top 5 spots as recently as the end of 2021 with YouTube being the only other platform competing with the likes of Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram & Messenger, though TikTok is making a really big push in the past couple of years, with the short-form videos being very hot right now, while other names like Twitter & Snap are also trying to compete with these giants for every digital advertising dollar out there.

    The MOAT of this company in my opinion is huge as they are far & away leading the pack with over 7 and a half billion monthly active users on their platforms dwarfing away any competition

    Though the Total addressable market for the platforms that Meta owns is reaching a saturation point, especially in the more developed parts of the World like the US, Canada & Europe, the company still has room to grow in the lesser developed countries, though these countries will bring on lower margins as the ad revenue/user in these countries is far lower compared to the more developed markets.

    Until now the company hasn't detailed that much their revenues & earnings report that much, but following next week more details will be included in their earnings report with the company splitting their revenue & operating income in two segments, the family of apps which includes Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp & other related services and on the other hand, a new reality Labs segment including its augmented reality hardware, services & other related content, but for now, last quarter, Meta reported that the Facebook platform continued to grow, gaining around 15 million monthly active users, with most of those coming from the Asia-Pacific region, though both the US & Canada region & Europe gained a couple of million each.

    Meta has also managed to significantly increase their revenues in the past year, with more $29B in the last quarter, compared to just $21.5B in 2020 for the same quarter, and in my opinion, I expect Meta to continue to grow their revenues, especially as more & more advertising dollars will become available once people start traveling more, as those ad revenues are one of the biggest ones for Meta.

    On the other hand, despite seeing a slight decrease in their net income in the past quarters, this has been mostly due to the huge investments that Meta is doing to develop more & more products & services as they are trying to become the leader in the "Metaverse". As the company is expected to spend $40B in the next years on developing their "Metaverse" services & products.

    So, alongside the huge Total addressable market for digital advertising & media of over $700B, Meta will also try to be one of the leaders of the metaverse, by spending somewhere in the range of at least $10B/year, which does significantly impact the current net income.

    The balance sheet of this company is outrageously good with almost $170B in total assets and only $36B in Total liabilities, as the company can effectively pay all their liabilities right now as their current assets stand at over $75B.

    It's also very nice that Meta has started to buy back shares in the last couple of years and even accelerated this trend as is due to buy back at least $57B worth of shares as per their latest share repurchase program.

    Meta reported a net income of almost $9.2B for the last quarter and a hair over $29B for the last 3 quarters, which is more than 45% year/year.

    I expect to see a continued growth for Meta Platforms, though I expect this to be a period of slowing down revenue growth, especially until the company manages to create something new either with their old platforms that haven't been yet monetized to their fullest extent or with more & more revenue coming from the "Metaverse" pipeline of products.

    I also expect their margins to remain pretty stable, at around 38% until they start cutting down on their spending on developing new services & products, especially related to the "metaverse".

    The capital expenditures of the company should continue to grow at a pretty high rate as well, while their other income & expenses should be pretty insignificant.

    Finally the stock should continue to pay an effective tax rate lower than the standard 21% which is very likely to remain at this level as the US should be gridlocked for the next couple of years at least, though for safety reasons, I will slowly increase the Effective tax rate in the spreadsheet by half of a percent each year, while I also include a share buyback of 2% year to be conservative, as the current share repurchase program should account for about 190million shares at the current price levels.

    On the other hand, if you are a dividend kind of investors, you will be disappointed as Meta doesn't pay a dividend and I don't expect them to pay any dividends anytime soon, as the company focuses on growing and buying back shares as the preferred equity return to investors.

    After all of this boring stuff probably for most of you, but which I believe to be very important to evaluate a company, I believe we will see $33.21 earnings / share by 2026 from Meta, which would mean, I expect this company to trade anywhere from $664 to $913 depending on their PE multiple.

    The other side of fundamental analysis that I like to take a look at, is the discounted cash flow model, so let's also check that out for Meta.

    I will base this DCF template on the same 38% operating margin, which means Meta will earn just over $83B after tax by 2026. I will also add back the Depreciation & Amortization of just over $12.5B which would mean a relatively small 10% increase while taking out over $143B in capex in the next 5 years and discounting those by a 12% rate which I believe is pretty fair, given an 8% annual return for the SP500 and a much higher than current 4% risk free rate, thus, Meta will produce just over $160B in free cash flows by 2026.

    To these free cash flows we also have to add or subtract the net assets or debt of the company which in this case stand at just over $114B in net assets.

    I will also combine both the perpetuity approach with a 4% long term growth rate, as I don't expect Meta to stop growing after 2026 and the EBITDA exit multiple approach with a 20 times multiple which is pretty standard for tech company historically.

    And though the company is slightly overvalued based on the growth in perpetuity approach, the company is substantially undervalued based on the EBITDA approach. And that's why an average of these 2 usually works the best, and based on that Meta should be a buy anywhere under $450 if you want to earn yourself at least a 12% return by 2026.

    I don't usually look at other analyst's price targets & estimates, but whenever I finish doing a fundamental analysis, I find it interesting to check out how my expectations compare to Wall St. Analysts.

    In this case I'm slightly more bullish on this company with the average analyst expecting just $25.5 in earnings per share by 2026 on a $235B revenue.

    On the other hand, TipRank's analysts have an average price target of over $400 for the next 12 months which is 10% lower than what I expect the stock to trade at by the end of the year.

    For investors and for me to keep a level head approach it's usually good to also take a look at weaknesses or possible weaknesses for a company, and in my opinion, Meta's biggest weaknesses are its anti-trust issues with social media platforms being more & more targeted, while on the competition side, TikTok & YouTube could pose a threat for time spent by people on their apps.

    The other big weakness related to Meta could be Apple's new privacy policies and their IDFA that will have an impact on ad revenues for companies like Meta, though I believe, this impact shouldn't be critical, as the average revenue per user, has continued to increase steadily over the last decade.

    Other things like short-selling aren't a problem for Meta, with just over 1% of the stock being shorted.

    On the other hand, though I like a founder-led company usually, Mark has been a very unpopular person recently, though his ideas regarding the metaverse and everything else might just pay off in the long run.

    A great added bonus to this stock is that it's more than 80% owned by Institutions with names like Vanguard, Blackrock & others owning huge pieces of the company, which should bring long-term price stability, despite the recent sell-off in the markets, which has affected almost all companies.

    Meta has also popped up in the news lately, with the company building an AI that could become the fasted in the world by the end of the year, which is extremely impressive given than many other big names are also building supercomputers for more & more advanced AI's. So, I really expect Meta to remain a leader in the tech industry alongside other big names like Microsoft, Apple & others.

    Finally, before I share with you my final opinion, I think we should stay aware of the earnings report coming up next week, as I might adjust the Price targets if something big changes.

    My opinion is that Meta is one of the best names to buy out there right now, especially after the recent market sell-off. And based on my simple algorithm, Meta has a score of 9.28 out of 10 and I expect the stock to trade towards the $450 in the next 12-18 months, with a base case price target of $788 by 2026, giving us an annualized return in excess of 21%.

    Thanks so much for sticking until the end! I'd love to hear your opinion about Meta Platforms in the comments!

    Here is a Market Recap for today Thursday, January 27, 2022. Another volatile day

    Posted: 27 Jan 2022 02:35 PM PST

    PsychoMarket Recap - Thursday, January 27, 2022

    The trend for this week continues with another exceptionally volatile day, with stocks opening the day higher before dropping sharply in the afternoon. However, after closing red, both the S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq (QQQ) turned green after-hours on the back of Apple's (AAPL) monster earnings report.

    Market participants continue to digest yesterday's FOMC statement and Fed Chair Jerome Powell's news conference and newly released US GDP data.

    Markets Today

    • S&P 500 (SPY): -0.49
    • Nasdaq (QQQ): -1.01%
    • Dow Jones (DIA): +0.03%
    • Russell 2000 (IWM): -2.27%
    • Volatility Index (VIX): -4.60%
    • Apple (AAPL): +4.50% after-hours
    • Tesla (TSLA): -11.55%
    • Lucid Motors (LCID): -14.10%
    • Lending Club (LC): -28.13%
    • Teradyne (TER): -22.44%

    The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released its first estimate of fourth-quarter GDP on Thursday. For the full-year 2021, GDP grew at a 5.7% rate, marking the fastest since 1984. And this marked a sharp reversal from the contraction seen in the economy in 2020 when GDP shrank by 3.4%. Here were the main metrics from the print, compared to consensus estimates compiled by Bloomberg:

    • GDP quarter-over-quarter, annualized: 6.9% vs. 5.5% expected, 2.3% in Q3
    • Personal consumption: 3.3% vs. 3.4% expected, 2.0% in Q3
    • Core personal consumption expenditures, quarter-over-quarter: 4.9% vs. 4.9% expected, 4.6% in Q3

    https://www.bea.gov/data/gdp/gross-domestic-product

    In yesterday's monetary policy decision, the Fed held rates at near-zero and reaffirmed plans to finish tapering by March, at which point we will likely see the first interest rate hike of the year. Higher rates could address inflation by raising borrowing costs and dampening demand — particularly for goods.

    In its statement, the Fed said, "With inflation well above 2% and a strong labor market, the Committee expects it will soon be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate. The Committee decided to continue to reduce the monthly pace of its net asset purchases, bringing them to an end in early March". It is likely the first interest hike will come either in March or April, after the Fed completes tapering.

    Here is the entire statement: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/monetary20220126a1.pdf

    In his press conference following the meeting, Chair Jerome Powell said, "I would say that the committee is of a mind to raise the federal funds rate at the March meeting, assuming conditions are appropriate for doing so.

    But the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee unanimously agreed that "it will soon be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate," and Powell's commentary suggests the first increase will happen on March 16.

    Charlie Ripley, senior investment strategist for Allianz Investment Management, said "While offering some clarity on how the Fed would begin the process of removing policy accommodation, the outcome of the meeting fell short in providing the needed guidance on the timing and magnitude of the shift in policy. Today's meeting has market participants fully convinced that a March hike is certain, but with Chairman Powell not making any timing commitments, the door is slightly open for a slower moving Fed."

    The Labor Department released its weekly jobless report, which showed first-time claims unexpectedly jumping to the highest level since October 2021, potentially a sign of renewed virus-related disruptions due to the surge of Omicron. Here are the numbers:

    • Initial jobless claims: 286,000 vs. 225,000 expected and a revised 231,000 during the prior week
    • Continuing claims: 1.635 million vs. 1.563 million expected and a revised 1.551 million during the prior week

    Despite notching a quarterly profit and sales well above analyst estimates for the fourth quarter, shares of Tesla closed down 11.55% to $829.10 a piece after the electric vehicle maker admitted supply chain woes were likely to strain operations and halt new vehicle launches this year. Here are the numbers:

    • Earnings: $2.52 per share, vs. $2.36 per share expected
    • Revenue: $17.72 billion, vs. $16.57 billion expected, up 65% YoY
    • Auto Sales: $15.97 billion, up 71% YoY
    • Energy Generation & Storage: $688 million vs $815.5 million expected, down 8% YoY
    • Gross Margin: 27.4% vs 26.6% the previous quarter
    • Net Income: $2.32 billion, up a staggering 760% YoY

    Apple (AAPL), the largest company in the stock market, gapped up 4% at the time of writing after reporting exceptional earnings, which showed sales grew despite ongoing supply-chain disruptions. Apple lifted the SPY and QQQ, which turned green after-hours on the back of Apple's beat. Here are the numbers:

    • EPS: $2.10 vs. $1.89 estimated, up 25% year-over-year
    • Revenue: $123.9 billion vs. $118.66 billion estimated, up 11% year-over-year
    • iPhone revenue: $71.63 billion vs. $68.34 billion estimated, up 9% year-over-year
    • Services revenue: $19.52 billion vs. $18.61 billion estimated, up 24% year-over-year
    • Other Products revenue: $14.70 billion vs. $14.59 billion estimated, up 13% year-over-year
    • Mac revenue: $10.85 billion vs. $9.52 billion estimated, up 25% year-over-year
    • iPad revenue: $7.25 billion vs. $8.18 billion estimated, down 14% year-over-year
    • Gross margin: 43.8% vs. 41.7% estimated

    Tim Cook said, "What we expect for the March quarter is solid year-over-year revenue growth. And we expect supply constraints in the March quarter to be less than they were in the December quarter."

    Investment for young daughter

    Posted: 27 Jan 2022 11:40 AM PST

    Hi Group,

    Each year, I make a small deposit into my daughters Roth IRA based on her income for the year. This generally amounts to very little being in school full time. This year, we are talking about $500.

    Last year, we discussed what to buy together and decided it might be a good time to purchase BP stock. We did fairly well with this investment over the last year, it returned about 35% with about $70 in dividends.

    It's time to have this conversation with her again on what to buy. We both have been discussing inflation recently and while she doesn't understand all the nuances of what's happening, we both feel the stock market may be teetering a bit and is heading for a correction soon.

    So my question is, what to buy? I did a google search for stocks that have done well during times of recession but I thought I would ask for more specific advice here. For me personally, I always have felt good about an S&P index fund, but I want her to be able to pick out a specific company, one that pays dividends. Another lesson we might explore is dollar cost averaging should it take a plunge.

    Thanks for you insight.

    Market Outlook:

    Stocks are looking to open a bit higher after we saw a choppy session yesterday, and the volatility will likely continue this morning. The Federal Reserve signaled yesterday that interest rates will remain unchanged for now, but that a rate hike in March is likely. While it was nice to get this clarification, we still lack clarity on exact timing, and the magnitude of the rate hike. Powell also said they are going to be "nimble about this", meaning the plans are subject to change based on the conditions. JPMorgan Chief U.S. Economist Michael Feroli says that these are possibly the most hawkish comments that Powell has made in his time as Fed chair, and that rate hikes at consecutive Fed meetings are a possibility, given the noncommittal language. I think we are going to see more choppiness through the end of the week, given the current state of things.

    Remember to use proper risk management; size appropriately for your account and have a plan for every trade you enter. Happy trading everyone :)

    (1/27) Thursday's Pre-Market Stock Movers & News

    Posted: 27 Jan 2022 05:25 AM PST

    Good morning traders and investors of the r/StockMarket sub! Welcome to Thursday! Here are your pre-market stock movers & news on this Thursday, January 27th, 2022-

    S&P 500 futures inch higher in volatile trading as investors grapple with Fed tightening ahead

    U.S. stock futures traded volatilely Thursday morning as investors mulled over an update from the Federal Reserve on its rate hike plan.

    Futures tied to the Dow were flat in highly volatile trading, after earlier plunging nearly 500 points. S&P 500 futures rose 0.3%. Nasdaq 100 futures added 0.7%.

    McDonald's shares fell 1.8% in premarket trading after the fast-food chain's fourth-quarter earnings missed Wall Street expectations. The company said higher costs weighed on profits.

    Intel lost 2.7% and Tesla was marginally lower in early morning trading despite strong earnings reports.

    On the upside, Netflix jumped more than 4% on news that Pershing's Bill Ackman bought 3.1 million shares.

    A full slate of economic news is set for release Thursday morning, with fourth-quarter GDP, durable goods orders and weekly jobless claims due at 8:30 a.m. ET. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones expect the economy grew at a 5.5% annualized pace in the final three months of 2021. Jobless claims are expected to total 265,000 and durable goods are forecast to show a decline 0.6% in December.

    Thursday morning's rocky trading came a day after the Fed strongly indicated the first interest rate hike since late 2018 could come as soon as March.

    Chairman Jerome Powell rattled markets Wednesday saying the Fed has "quite a bit of room" to raise rates before negatively impacting employment.

    Stocks fell sharply after the comment, and traders in the fed funds futures market now price in five quarter-percentage-point increases this year. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield climbed above 1.8% following his remarks.

    Still, the Dow ended the day down 129 points, after gaining more than 500 points at one point, following the Fed update. The S&P 500 lost 0.2% and the Nasdaq Composite was little changed, with a boost from Microsoft's post-earnings gain.

    "While offering some clarity on how the Fed would begin the process of removing policy accommodation, the outcome of the meeting fell short in providing the needed guidance on the timing and magnitude of the shift in policy," said Charlie Ripley, senior investment strategist for Allianz Investment Management.
