Meta (META) in Focus as TD Cowen Sees Strong Quarter and Robust Ad Momentum

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is one of the AI Stocks on the Market’s Radar. On October 10, TD Cowen reiterated its Buy rating on the stock with a price target of $875.00.

The rating affirmation comes ahead of the company’s third-quarter 2025 earnings report, due October 29. Analyst John Blackledge anticipates Meta to enjoy another successful quarter, demonstrating strong advertising growth throughout.

His preview particularly noted “Strong Ad Growth to Continue” for the company, highlighting the significance of its advertising platform on Meta’s revenue generation capabilities.

Nevertheless, costs are anticipated to increase in the second half of 2025, which means there will be potential pressure on profit margins despite the robust top-line performance.

While we acknowledge the potential of META as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
