Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) is one of the 10 Stocks to Buy and Sell in 2025: Top Analyst Calls.

Lucas Downey from MoneyFlows said in a latest program on Schwab Network that Meta Platforms is one of the top stocks to buy on any pullback.

“A great case in point would be Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META). This is a name that I’ve owned for a number of years. First thing is you got to think big themes, right? What is actually working? AI. Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) has all this data and they continue to just grow their earnings. What was interesting about Meta is their last time that they had earnings. This is back in April. Just remember how worried the whole world was about earnings. They basically were saying that they were going to guide even higher. Their capex was going to go above and beyond what people were expecting. You can see analysts have been very bullish on this name. So, this would be the type of company that you would want to be looking for on any type of pullback.”

Wedgewood Partners stated the following regarding Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) was once again a leading contributor to performance for the quarter – and our best portfolio performer since the panic-selling lows in the stock back in September of 2022. Revenue grew +16% despite ad-spending headwinds related to trade protectionism, and operating margins expanded thanks to continued investments in automation, driving a stellar +37% growth in earnings per share. The Company has been a consistent beneficiary of artificial intelligence (AI) over the past several years, investing aggressively in deep learning recommendation systems that help power it’s products which reach nearly half the population of the planet. Meta’s AI investments, combined with its massive scale, allow the Company to quickly spin up new products across its digital advertising real estate to reinforce its competitive positioning. Meta’s core Family of Apps products are backed by extremely large and complex (i.e. difficult to copy) AI recommendation systems that have to sort through billions of datapoints in real time and come up with the probability of a user clicking on something. Meta is one of the few companies that has been able to consistently and, most critically, profitably monetize AI technologies for shareholders, and we continue to hold the stock as a top position in portfolios.”
