The investment bank reiterated its overweight rating for Meta. It also reaffirmed its $825 price target on shares, suggesting 34.7% upside from Wednesday&#8217;s close. &#8220;The launch of Muse Spark should provide increased confidence in Meta&#8217;s scaling trajectory and improve investor sentiment,&#8221; JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth said Wednesday in a note to clients. On Wednesday, Meta rolled out its Muse Spark AI model, putting the tech giant company in direct competition with the likes of OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT and Anthropic&#8217;s Claude. The product is the first of its kind to come out of Meta Superintelligence Labs , an AI-focused unit at Meta that was spun up last year. The new division is part of the company&#8217;s multibillion-dollar push into AI hat has raised eyebrows among some of its investors. Former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang is leading the unit after Meta poured an eye-watering $14.3 billion into the startup last year to poach its leadership. Following the Muse Spark&#8217;s release, Meta shares soared as much as 9.5% on Wednesday before ending the day with a 6.5% advance. The stock carried that momentum into Thursday, climbing more than 3%.

In that time, shares of the Facebook owner have declined more than 4%, while Alphabet and Amazon have eked out small gains. Nvidia is down 1.5%. But JPMorgan thinks Meta can continue rising as investors&#8217; confidence in the AI-focused firm grows. &#8220;This initial MSL model represents the first step in what Meta believes is a predictable and efficient scaling trajectory in which each generation validates and builds on the last before Meta goes bigger,&#8221; Anmuth wrote. &#8220;Larger, increasingly capable models are in development, and Meta will continue to move along the path to personal superintelligence.&#8221; The analyst added that Meta&#8217;s investments into costly AI projects should not deter investors from scooping up shares of the stock, adding that the company has historically remained &#8220;disciplined&#8221; toward funding its major growth verticals. &#8220;Meta is focused on the two big tech waves of AI and Metaverse, and it will spend into those major growth opportunities while also remaining disciplined,&#8221; Anmuth wrote. &#8220;We recognize these [long-term] ambitions are driving increasing infrastructure investments, but we project outsized revenue growth in &#8217;26, and Meta has a strong track record of driving returns on increased spending.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meta Platforms is a buy following the release of its long-awaited artificial intelligence model this week, according to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":594506,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[62,26743,7174,276,277,161,49,48,1385,15850,1369,3097,61],"class_list":{"0":"post-594505","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-alphabet-class-a","10":"tag-amazon-com-inc","11":"tag-artificial-intelligence","12":"tag-artificialintelligence","13":"tag-business-news","14":"tag-ca","15":"tag-canada","16":"tag-investment-strategy","17":"tag-meta-platforms-inc","18":"tag-nvidia-corp","19":"tag-stock-markets","20":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=594505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594505\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/594506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=594505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=594505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=594505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
