The PE of 9 is low which is unusual for these companies.

Apple is 24 and so is Microsoft.




TSLA is ~70 PE.

I honestly think META is undervalued now, should be around 20 IMO, whether you like it or not it is a mature company with stable revenue and profits.

I agree that the whole metaverse/VR thing is a big fiasco, though. But remember that META is FB + Messenger, Instagram and Whatsapp, they're gonna do fine.


For the PE to be 20 the stock would have to more than double and that’s not going to happen in this environment

I don’t follow Meta closely so I’m trying to catch up.

Sounds like they’re cash rich so they can afford to burn some money on the VR project, which sounds like it’s a decade away.

They burned something like $65 billion in stock buybacks over the past couple of years. ouch!

Still, that PE shouldn’t be 9 unless revenue is expected to drop quite a lot. Anyway, I’d been interested in knowing who to follow on this stock.

Here’s some info I’ve come across:

“As for capital expenses, Altimeter makes a startling claim: excluding metaverse investments, Meta is still spending more on capex than Apple, Tesla, Twitter, Snap, and Uber combined, with much of the growth apparently coming in the past three years”
