Wall Street analysts are standing by Meta Platforms despite Thursday's sell-off. The analyst cut his price target to $480 from $535 a share, noting that building and creating new products is no easy — or quick — feat. The adjusted price target reflects nearly 3% downside from Wednesday's close. Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak retained his overweight rating and $550 price target, saying the firm remains "buyers through Meta's investments." Meta isn't alone in this feat, with Nowak expecting competitors to undertake similar steps as more AI opportunities arise.

Microsoft won the first round in the battle to become the next big artificial intelligence leader, but analysts think Alphabet 's ability to overtake its competition in the long-run shouldn't be underestimated. "We think Google's big reveal is still to come, which we would expect in weeks and not months." On the heels of its multibillion dollar investment in ChatGPT-creator OpenAI, Microsoft on Tuesday announced new AI versions of its Bing search engine and Edge browser. "We believe GOOGL has the AI tech and scale to maintain/grow its leading user base," wrote Morgan Stanley's Brian Nowak. He also expects Google's AI product visibility to improve over the next few months — and easily offset some higher AI search costs.
