# Meta Platforms Stock Analysis: AI Leadership & Q2 Earnings Preview | Investing Podcast
Dive into our comprehensive analysis of Meta Platforms (META) as it approaches a critical Q2 earnings announcement on July 30. With shares trading near $707—close to its 52-week high—we explore why analysts are increasingly bullish on Meta's AI strategy, WhatsApp monetization potential, and long-term metaverse vision.
This episode unpacks Meta's technical strength despite recent trading volume dips, examines analyst upgrades from Bernstein and Stifel (with price targets reaching $845), and evaluates the company's massive $60-70B capital expenditure plan for AI infrastructure. We also discuss Meta's strategic decision to opt out of the EU's voluntary AI code, the untapped $30-40B revenue opportunity in business messaging, and whether Reality Labs' continued losses represent visionary investment or concerning cash burn.
For investors weighing Meta's impressive 80% gross margins against increasing competitive pressures, this analysis provides essential context on whether the tech giant can justify its premium valuation and near-unanimous Wall Street optimism ahead of what could be a market-moving earnings report.
