Meet KevinTarget Range
$1,071–$1,300
“I believe that the stock has a fair value of around $1,300. My stock AI product thinks Meta has a fair value of $1,071.”
Thesis at the time
BullishKevin argues Meta is undervalued because it is the only major hyperscaler not monetizing its data center compute, and that a shift toward monetization (renting compute, API revenue, AI-driven business tools) could act as a major catalyst to close its valuation discount versus peers. He believes fair value is well above the current price and sees the recent lawsuit settlement as removing a major overhang on the stock.
Key arguments
- Meta is the only hyperscaler that doesn't rent out its compute, creating a negative return on invested capital (-2.2%) versus peers who monetize compute
- Multiple Wall Street firms (Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, New Street Research, Barclays) see compute/API monetization as a stock catalyst
- Meta has roughly 6 gigawatts of compute already, about 4x SpaceX's current buildout, giving it scarcity value it isn't yet monetizing
- The recent lawsuit settlement (settled for a fraction of the rumored $1.4 trillion) removes a major overhang on the stock
- Balance sheet is relatively strong with $112B in cash/marketables/receivables versus $56B in bills and manageable long-term debt
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Cost of goods sold rose 33%, R&D and SG&A nearly doubled, weakening apparent pricing power
- Free cash flow yield of about 2% is much lower than Salesforce's 7%
- No buybacks or dividends currently, and free cash flow has been declining
- Company may instead choose to keep building subscription/token-based services rather than monetize compute directly
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Current negative return on invested capital (-2.2%) without compute monetization
- Monetization strategy is speculative and dependent on Meta's decision to change business model
- Meta has underperformed Amazon and Apple significantly over the past year
- Compute rental market dynamics and pricing sustainability are uncertain
- Comparison to SpaceX's compute monetization strategy is aspirational rather than guaranteed
