We initiate coverage of Meta Platforms, Inc. (Nasdaq: META) with a Neutral / Market Perform rating and a 12-month price target of US$635, 2.0% below the 11 September 2026 close of US$648.03. Our target blends a ten-year discounted cash flow at a 9.64% weighted average cost of capital (50% weight, US$583 per share), trading comparables (40%, US$688) and precedent transactions (10%, US$658).
Meta is the largest digital advertising business in the world on current forecasts, with US$228.2bn of trailing-twelve-month revenue, a 48.0% trailing EBITDA margin and 3.60bn daily users. It is also, in 2026, a company spending US$137bn on property and equipment in a single year, funded partly with US$55bn of senior notes issued in November 2025 and May 2026.
The advertising franchise deserves a premium; the capital programme that surrounds it does not yet earn one.

SK hynix is the world's leading supplier of high-bandwidth memory and the second-largest DRAM manufacturer, and it is in the most profitable period in the history of the memory industry. Revenue of W97.1tn in FY2025 has already been surpassed by W131.9tn in the first half of FY2026 alone — a period in which the second quarter printed a 76% operating margin.
The cheapest large memory franchise on trailing multiples — which is precisely the point. The shares trade at 8.1x last-twelve-month EV/EBITDA and 8.2x trailing earnings against peer medians of 15.8x and 22.0x. But those twelve months are the peak of the cycle — W143.6tn of EBITDA against W36.0tn in FY2024 — while each peer's window straddles a different point of the same cycle. The discount is a statement about cycle position, not about franchise quality.

The valuation is a barbell, not a point. The bear case — supply additions arriving into weaker demand, revenue peaking in 2027 — is worth W976,546, some 46% below the current price. The bull case is W2,452,662, or 35% above it. Weighted 25/50/25, the probability-weighted expected value is W1,662,561, within 8% of where the shares trade. This is a high-variance stock rather than an obviously expensive one, and I would become a buyer below roughly W1,350,000.
What would make me wrong. The bull case has undersupply persisting through 2028, revenue compounding at 39.7% to FY2030 and the terminal EBITDA margin holding at 72.3%. Here is what has to be true for that, and why I think the 2029 trough in my base case is the more likely shape…

The research process
One agent builds.
Another reviews.
Select a stage to explore
Company Research
Read company filings, earnings calls and the competitive landscape to build a sourced picture of the business.
Review passesThe output feeds the next stage: model.
Reviewer finds an issueThe producing agent gets specific findings, revises the work, then submits it for another review.
At the end of the process
A full research report and concise write-up, with sources you can check.
None of which makes the agent infallible. It can misread a filing or carry an error forward, and Analyst Report has not had a registered analyst review the result, which is exactly why every figure stays traceable to its source and why the model behind it ships with live formulas on a client-ready note. Check the work, and make your own investment decisions. The research is not investment advice and for informational purposes only.
A clear valuation helps you decide what to buy and what to pass on.

I am a private investor looking for an edge in the markets. To do so, I am turning over a lot of rocks. And I really mean a lot. I am looking at the most obscure opportunities.
It takes days to fully grasp an industry, understand competitors, research management, and to properly value a business.
Things just changed. My agents do the heavy lifting for me. Quite suprisingly, they even manage to uncover details that I overlooked. It speeds up my research process and helps me make better investment decisions.
Generating alpha just became easier.
