Guggenheim Lifts Meta Target to $850 on Muse AI Usage
Guggenheim raised its price target on Meta Platforms (META) to $850 from $700, citing progress in Muse AI adoption and higher 2027 estimates. Muse reached 1.3 million daily active users in five weeks, though it remains a small fraction of Meta's total users. The analyst expects Muse to generate revenue through business payments, aligning with Meta's advertising model. Guggenheim also increased its 2027 capital expenditure forecast to $225 billion and projects 25% Q3 core advertising growth.
