(NASDAQ:META) shares are trading with mixed sentiment as investors weigh a fresh price‐target boost and bullish sector commentary against insider sales, fund redemptions and looming regulatory risks. Bullish catalysts: RBC Capital Markets raised its price target on META to $888, citing strong advertising trends and AI integration. Loop Capital highlighted Meta’s leading AI investments, forecasting it will outperform its “Magnificent Seven” peers. A Benzinga feature on Facebook vs. Orkut underscored Meta’s strategic evolution into a $1.6 trillion powerhouse, reinforcing its long-term growth narrative. Several smaller institutions—including Suvretta Capital, Scissortail Wealth and Sculptor Capital—added to their META holdings in recent 13F filings. Bearish catalysts: An American Banking News report noted insider selling that coincided with a roughly 2% pullback in META’s share price. Major funds such as Toronto Dominion Bank, Steadfast Capital, Scientech Research and Select Equity Group trimmed their fourth-quarter stakes by double-digit percentages. Meta faces a potential EU legal challenge over its use of user data for AI training—risking fines or operational constraints in a key market. Overall, the stock’s advance in response to analysts’ upgrades and AI‐driven optimism is being tempered by portfolio rebalancing and regulatory uncertainty, resulting in subdued trading action today.Posted 1h agoAI generated META Latest News All Sources Trusted Sources MarketBeat Benzinga Bloomberg GuruFocus MarketWatch Motley Fool NASDAQ PR Newswire Reuters Seeking Alpha TalkMarkets The Street TipRanks The Wall Street Journal Wall Street Zen Yahoo Finance Source Sentiment refers to the positivity or negativity of each headline according to our language processing algorithm.
