BMO Capital analyst Brian J. Pitz reiterated a Market Perform rating and $580.00 price target on Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META).

The analyst comments "META’s improving AI product momentum strengthens the product story, but we remain cautious on the scale/timing of monetization, as we expect expenses could increase as AI products roll out. Muse’s early traction and Connect hardware announcements underscore improvements, but don't resolve the ROI debate around $144B/$179B 2026E/2027E CapEx. Meanwhile, the U.S. child-safety settlement reduces trial risk, but it drives structural remedies that target user engagement as global child safety initiatives continue to ramp. Maintain Market Perform and $580 Target Price as we seek visibility on monetization of recent productization."
