JPMorgan upgrades Meta on AI models and agents, sees ’meaningful headroom’

JPMorgan upgraded Meta Platforms to Overweight, raising its price target to $820 from $640. Analyst Doug Anmuth cited Meta's AI advancements, including Muse AI agent and Meta Model API, as new growth drivers. He expects further opportunities from upcoming AI models and rising capital spending, projecting $243B and $284B in capex for 2027 and 2028, respectively. Meta shares are up 20% from recent lows but flat year-to-date.
