Top Tech Growth Stocks: Facebook (FB)

Social media giant Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) is looking pretty unstoppable right now.

Top RBC capital analyst Mark Mahaney makes an interesting observation based on FB’s trading patterns. He notes that Facebook is currently trading 9% below its historical forward average.

This is in stark contrast to stocks like Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) that are actually trading above their historical forward averages. The conclusion: compared to many large-cap internet stocks, FB has space to grow over the next year.

Indeed, Mahaney writes: “Facebook continues to have a LONG revenue runway ahead of it.” A key catalyst for the stock is the very bullish outlook from marketers who advertise on FB.

Mahaney says: “We view the overall high rate of spending on Facebook (91% of marketers allocate a portion of their Online budget to FB) as a strong positive; it shows us that Facebook continues to be a dominant force in not just Social Media, but also advertising as a whole.”

Plus note that a record 66% of respondents to RBC’s marketer survey are planning to “increase” their FB budget, with only 5% planning to “decrease,” and you can see why this is a top stock for 2018 and beyond.

For example, Credit Suisse’s Stephen Ju has also just carried out his own positive advertiser checks. This five-star analyst was so encouraged by the results that he has now boosted his price target from $190 all the way to $235 (35% upside).

Overall, 31 analysts have published buy ratings on FB in the last three months versus just two hold ratings and one sell rating. If we combine the price targets from all these analysts, the average comes in at $198.68 (14% upside).

Facebook (FB) Has Teen Drama

Facebook Inc (NYSE:FB) shares are backing off of overhead resistance, bonking on the late July high near $175.

The company’s recent acquisition of TBH — an “uplifting” polling app popular with teens — reminds everyone how the company is losing ground with younger folks more attracted to Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP), which leaves FB as the destination for aging boomers and jaded millennials that want to argue politics and Russian ad buys during the election.

The company will next report results on Nov. 1 after the close. Analysts are looking for earnings of $1.28 per share on revenues of $9.8 billion.

When it last reported on July 26, earnings of $1.32 beat estimates by 20 cents on a 44.8% rise in revenues.

I’m Looking for This Stock to Rise 29% Over the Next Year

by Joseph Hogue

Media advertising will increase to $583.9 billion this year, of which $223.7 billion will be spent on digital media.

Facebook is already a powerhouse in all this, but still has a lot of room to build off its $33.2 billion in annual revenue.

Earnings are expected to grow 19% to $5.77 over the next four quarters from $4.86 per share in the trailing quarter.

Revenue is expected to grow 35% over the same period.

The average 12-month price target among 28 analysts is for $200.77 per share, which would represent a multiple of 34.8 times expected earnings.

Shares have traded at an average multiple of 36 times trailing earnings since the IPO, bringing my target to $232 per share, or a gain of 29% on the current trade.

Facebook

The huge social media leader has continued to post gigantic numbers.

Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) operates as a mobile application and website that enables people to connect, share, discover and communicate each other on mobile devices and personal computers worldwide.

Its solutions also include Instagram, a mobile application that enables people to take photos or videos, customize them with filter effects, and share them with friends and followers in a photo feed or send them directly to friends;

Messenger, a messaging application for mobile and web on various platforms and devices, which enable people to reach others instantly, as well as enable businesses to engage with customers; and WhatsApp Messenger, a mobile messaging application.

Many feel that Facebook’s long-term forecasts are more easily attainable, especially as the company continues to grow and employ new platforms for online advertising.

Facebook is growing at twice the rate of its large cap internet peers while delivering at least 50% operating margins.

Top analysts see further upside ahead from user growth, and the company sees upside potential to its $80 U.S. average revenue per user through better targeting, as well as improvements on Instagram.

The SunTrust price target for the company is posted at $215, and that compares Wall Street consensus price target for the company is $208.21 The shares closed trading on Friday at $179.

Stocks to Buy: Facebook (FB)

Social media giant Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) has a big catalyst heading its way for 2018.

The company has already premiered its ‘Watch’ tab, but 2018 could be the year where it really takes off. (Of course, this is on top of all the stock’s other catalysts like Instagram, WhatsApp and a new Direct messaging app.)

One of TipRanks’ top 100 analysts, Brent Thrill, believes the ‘Watch’ tab is about to make a sizeable impact on user video consumption.

He says the tab will drive video engagement alongside improved network effects and sharing. Plus, Facebook’s data-driven approach to content and partner revenue share agreements is the smart way to go.

He is now looking for revenue purely from the Watch tab to hit $12 billion in 2022. Thrill’s $225 price target suggests considerable upside of 27% from the current share price.

Strong Buy stock FB has scored 30 buy ratings and just 1 sell rating in the last three months. Meanwhile, the average analyst price target of $210 indicates 19% upside potential.

Facebook -5.6% as analysts weigh financial hit from news changes

Emphasizing the personal over posts from businesses could easily mean fewer ads in the feeds.

JPM has an Overweight rating and $230 price target (still 22.5% upside implied).

Zuckerberg admitted that the changes might mean some engagement measures (including time on Facebook) could go down in the short term.

And Stifel has downgraded shares to Hold, departing from a few dozen analysts who have the shares at Buy.

Mark Zuckerberg loses US$2.9 billion after announcing Facebook will prioritise friends over business

Facebook will now prioritise users’ friends and family, rather than news and businesses, to encourage conversation - and that’s sent shares tumbling

He kept saying he wanted Facebook to become a place for meaningful social interaction. His resolution for 2018 was to “fix” Facebook.

The aim is to reduce the time people spend aimlessly scrolling through Facebook less and instead encourage them to engage for a while in a meaningful interaction or two.

Zuckerberg said one expected result is a decrease in the collective time users spend on the site.

Trouble Is Brewing for Facebook, Inc. Stock

A warning from early Facebook investor Roger McNamee to fix the product is going unheeded

By DANA BLANKENHORN

Facebook seems to be reaching its growth limit. With 2 billion people now using its service, and China closed off to it, Facebook needs to create new services to grow. Instagram can kill Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP), but that won’t solve the problem.

If Facebook can’t grow its consumer businesses, it can’t fill new data centers, on which it spent $7 billion last year.
