META — All updates

Yeah. So my first one is might seem very strange because it's not a direct beneficiary of what Nvidia has told us. One of the two is but the first one I'll talk about is Meta.

Now Meta of course spends an insane amount of money on Nvidia chips but it also spends an insane amount of money on making its own custom chips. But the connection here is about cost and not revenue.

So, the first stock that I bought a little bit more of that I already had some due to this dip that's happened and one that I think is probably the most undervalued Mag Seven stock that there is is Meta.

Meta's recent weakness is largely being driven by investor concerns over its massive AI spending. But the underlying business remains extremely strong. Q2 revenue jumped 28% advertising continues to grow and Meta's investing today to strengthen its AI capabilities and monetization.

Do you buy Meta stock or stay away? There's something unique going on with this stock. It is obviously one of our massive hyperscalers. It is the only hyperscaler that does not rent compute, and Wall Street has a few choice things to say about it.

You've got Meta stock on the one-year basis compared to Amazon and Apple, destroyed versus these other companies. Meta stock down 23%. Amazon's up 15, Apple is up 37% on a one-year timeframe.

And potentially one coming from Meta. And that is where we kick things off. Meta platform start the week at 551. Shares were up nearly 4.9% official week at 578.

Now before we get to AI, Meta obviously as you know had a big moment in the courtroom. one that was expected to last six weeks that came to a screeching halt as both sides, the attorney generals from across the country and Meta decided in a courtroom to settle.

Still holding up on stocks like uh Meta and Netflix up a couple percent. Meta really getting still left behind on this sort of legendary support line right here in this longer term convergence really indicating that you know there might be a potential to actually buy more meta at these levels because you really do sit on and close to a legendary support line. you are on a technical basis converging not straight down but rather horizontally suggesting that unless there you know the entire economy falls off a cliff it suggests there's some serious upside potential here on meta especially with the dalahalas they've got uh very interesting

In today's video, we are going to be discussing Meta's large settlement that it just had, what it means for the business and the share price, and also why the stock hasn't responded as well as many people thought it would, including myself.

So first off, let's discuss the changes that Meta needs to make to its platforms. And all of these changes are specifically for minors, which are people under the age of 18 in the United States.

The first one is a default 2-hour daily limit across its apps that teens can only disable with parent permission. A night mode from midnight to 6:00 a.m., which blocks feed, stories, reels, and the explore feature.

A school mode, which mutes notifications from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Continuous use prompts that warn the user every 15 minutes. Teens will also have a non-algorithmic feed as the default.

Teens will be able to turn off autoplay. Teens will also have likes hidden by default. There will be stronger age assurance and detection technology. And then lastly, there will be an annual independent auditor review to make sure that Meta is playing by these rules and that they are all actually being enforced.

Meta settling a teen safety lawsuit for $17 billion

Robert, you actually talked about this one uh recently. You flagged that Oakland trial of that $ 1.4 trillion threat for Meta could be very bad.

Coalition of state attorney generals were going after Meta over child safety. Meta's own filings put the theoretical ceiling at $1.4 trillion in damages.

OpenAI is going to become the going to become bigger than Meta in 3 and a half years if you believe their projections. And they're going to do that while spending more than twice of Meta's OPEX.

Meta as well, but they're not doing anything. They're just they're just rolling in their filth.

We just got news that Meta won their lawsuit. Now, they didn't technically win, they actually settled. Meta is paying out $18 billion in the dollars in the settlement. That's a lot of money.

Plus, they're having to make lots of concessions and restrictions with childhood accounts.

On August 7th, 2026, Meta was forced to pay $942 million of civil penalties to the state of New Mexico. The lawsuit was related to the addictive nature of Facebook and Instagram and the negative impacts this has on children.

But, this Meta lawsuit is different. It strikes at the core of the company's business model and how they were able to become so profitable in the first place. And, this is just the beginning.

Meta is now being sued by California, Colorado, and New Jersey. If these states win, Meta's liabilities could be astronomical with estimates ranging from $200 billion to $1.4 trillion.

Meta Stock for example, Netflix, Service Now, Salesforce are close to their 200 day moving average.

I actually was asked exactly that in our uh course member live stream. Somebody's like, "Kevin, you like Meta, you like Netflix? I even like the advertising part of Google even though I'm not exposed to Google, right?" like Kevin, what about Tradeesk?

Stocks like Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta are all aggressively issuing debt. A lot of them are even going free cash flow negative, such as Meta.

Now, coming in at number two, we do have Meta who fundamentally, again, looks very attractive. This is another stock that's trading below its historic average valuation multiple, and this is actually one of the worst performing stocks, at least Mag 7 stocks year-to-date, down by about 15%.

But, the three-year total return is still very strong. Now, they just recently started paying a dividend and the yield is small, but obviously there's a lot of dividend growth potential, and the margins on the stock are just incredible. It's the highest out of all the top 10 stocks.

This one is Meta. It's a newer position to the portfolio. Like many newer positions, ones that haven't had years to earn returns, Meta is in the red. It went down quite a bit after my initial buyin price, it's just gone down because of the bad news, the lawsuits, all the people concerned about how Meta's product may change.

In my mind, it has a lot of resemblance to what we faced with Google and the whole chat GPT scare. And I have a belief that Meta will turn out similar. And I believe Meta is actually a lot stronger than most investors are pricing in.

But regardless, my position is a 10% position in the portfolio. I have $150,000 in this stock. I'm down currently $34,000 in the red. But just like all these other stocks, I need a meaningful dip in Meta for this $10,000 to be added to it. So for this one, I set a buy target of $450.

Meta Stock has been crashing over the past week because its trials have officially started and people are calling these bellweather trials where the outcome is uncertain and a lot of people are saying that this could seriously impact Meta's business.

And headlines have even been saying that Meta could be liable for over $1.4 trillion worth of damages. To put it plain and simply, that would bankrupt Meta's business.

This week a trial against Meta seeking 1.4 trillion dollars in damages began in the great city of Oakland, California.

Meta Platforms started the week at $580 per share. It's a Friday. Hopefully you guys are doing well. Uh, Meta not doing better, down over 5% finished the week at 550.

Meta got hit hard today.

Second thing we're going to talk about in this video is Meta. Meta is a stock that is very divisive and there's not a lot of people that can really give it to you both sides. I'm here to do that here today.

As somebody that's been a meta shareholder on and off for the longest time, like pretty much since the company went IPO, I want to give you a perspective on the stock here today that I think is going to be very important and talk about the bearish points with the stock, the bullish points with the stock, and really get you to understand this company on a little deeper level.

So, if you're looking at it and you see the stock at a 500 something, you're trying to figure out is this a good deal? Is this a bad deal? What's going on here? Why is the stock not rallying?

People thought the stock was going to be good this year and it's not, right?

Meta up $16,000 here today.

Meta. Meta is an honorable mention here. Honorable mention, I am not bullish on the short term on Meta. You know, I've been consistent on that since the beginning of this year.

Once I got those CapEx numbers, I was like, uh-oh. No bueno. They took those CapEx numbers so insane, Zuckerberg took them up so high, I was like, I am not bullish on this stock in the short term, right?
