Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks during the Meta Connect event at Meta headquarters in Menlo Park, California, on Sept. 27, 2023.
Meta shares jumped to an intraday record on Thursday after analysts at two firms raised their price targets on the stock, citing optimism over the company's growing market share in digital advertising.
Analysts at Jefferies lifted their price target on Meta to $585 from $550 and said the company's gain in the ad market will increase this year.
Among the roughly 50 price targets tracked by FactSet, RBC's estimate is tied for the highest along with that of both Wells Fargo and First Shanghai.
The decision to invest $27 billion in capital expenditures last year "has helped the company develop several strategic advantages over its peers."
