About Meta Platforms, Inc.
Meta Platforms owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger, which people use to share content and to message each other. It also develops virtual and augmented reality devices and software through its Reality Labs unit. The company earns the vast majority of its money by selling advertising placed across its apps, so results depend on user engagement and on advertiser budgets. It spends heavily on data centers, artificial intelligence and new hardware.
The company reported twelve-month revenue of $228.2 billion, which expanded at 19.9% a year across the last three years. It earned an operating margin of 38.1%, and it generated a return on invested capital of 27%. Net debt to EBITDA is -0.1 times, which means the company holds more cash than debt. The dividend yield is 0.3%. The site's X-Ray Score is 59 out of 100.

Debt = borrowings plus lease liabilities. Cash & securities = cash, equivalents and short-term marketable securities (long-term securities are not counted, so net cash can be understated for companies like Apple). Net debt = debt minus cash & securities. Source: latest SEC 10-Q/10-K. EBIT / EV yield = operating profit divided by market cap plus net debt.
Fair value estimate
$688model spread $631 – $758
Fair
−3.0% to fair value
Equal blend of three models: peer multiples, a fundamentals-adjusted multiple (growth, ROIC and margin) and a 10-year DCF scaled to the market's average. Earnings-power value (no growth) is a floor and not part of the blend. Model uncertainty is Medium, so the safety margin is 30%.
