Shares of Meta Platforms are increasing as the company prepares for its Q3 2025 earnings announcement. The movement comes despite a 4% drop in share price over the previous month and follows steps toward regulatory settlements in the European Union that also affect Apple, according to the Financial Times.
Analysts expect Meta to report a profit of $6.74 per share for Q3 2025. This would mark an 11.8% increase compared to the same period last year. Investment banks such as Goldman Sachs have emphasized Meta as a leading pick in Artificial Intelligence, raising their price target to $870.
In a recent note, Goldman Sachs called Meta a strong buy. Wolfe Research set its target price at $730, while Guggenheim gave a target of $875 for the stock. These forecasts reflect rising confidence on Wall Street that momentum behind Meta will continue through year-end.
For Q2, Meta reported revenue of $47.5 billion, a 22% year-over-year increase. Operating income reached $20.4 billion, with an earnings per share of $7.14. The company’s advertising revenue, driven by advances in AI, rose 21%, helping boost overall results.
While some companies, such as Apple, face uncertainty from potential tariffs, analysts say Meta remains well-positioned. If the European Union approves pending antitrust agreements, Meta could see continued gains as its earnings season approaches and forecasts suggest a strong performance.
