Meta Platforms Inc. shares slid more than 1% in morning trading Tuesday, dipping below $570 as the social media and advertising powerhouse navigates heavy artificial intelligence spending and a pullback from last year's highs, leaving investors debating whether to buy the dip or exercise caution ahead of first-quarter earnings later this month.
The Nasdaq-listed stock (META) fell to around $567, down roughly $6 or 1%, by late morning on April 7, extending a year-to-date decline of about 13% from its 2025 peak near $796. Despite the recent softness, Wall Street's consensus remains strongly bullish, with an average 12-month price target around $840 to $860 — implying potential upside of nearly 50% from current levels.
