Avocado and AI: How Would a New Model from Meta Platforms Influence the Bull and Bear Cases for META Stock?

Among the most magnificent of the “Magnificent Seven” stocks, Meta Platforms (META) has been a top pick of mine for some time. Most of my own personal bullish thesis has to do with Meta's strong underlying cash flow-generating core business (its social media empire), which has allowed Meta to invest aggressively in new technologies and grow its time share among basically all age groups in the economy (and almost every country around the world).

With the majority of the world visiting one of Meta's sites or apps every day, Meta has done an incredible job of monetizing these eyeballs, creating a world-class moat rivaled by only a few companies out there.
