Meta faces a classic high-quality, high-
capex, high-scrutiny profile. The biggest risks are regulatory/policy backlash against its social and ad businesses, under-monetization of massive AI and compute investments, and potential saturation of attention in core apps. If legal pressure, teen-usage bans, or forced divestitures bite hard just as AI infra spending peaks,
free cash flow and multiples could compress. Conversely, strong
unit economics, diversified advertisers, and structural AI advantages create substantial cushion if management calibrates
capex and product rollout carefully.
