"META is facing real cracks from decelerating daily active people (3.58B to 3.56B) and rising capex that pressures free cash flow, but the sell-off is overstated because revenue is still up (33%) and the infrastructure spend is framed as an offensive, long-term AI positioning rather than forced weakness."

Analysts Can’t Believe These Numbers Are Real

"META is selling off on capex/regulatory noise, but the earnings setup is still strong (Q1 revenue +33% with operating income +30%, ad demand accelerating, and ~48B TTM free cash flow) and the stock looks undervalued on operating-cash-flow multiples, which is why I’m buying more despite the capex-driven free-cash-flow risk."

META Stock is Crashing - Here's Why I'm Buying More
Joseph Carlson After HoursBUILDING7 days ago
"META is a buy because it’s priced at a low forward PE (~19.6) versus both the broader S&P 500 (~22) and tech peers, while management-driven usage remains solid and capex is expected to get justified over time via improving earnings and cash-flow growth."

"META’s quarter looks like a B-grade mainly because spend (cost of revenue, R&D, and total expenses) is rising faster than revenue, and with capex projected around $125B-$145B this year and daily active people down vs the prior quarter, downside volatility is the main risk before any long-term payoff."
