Meta Spikes 7% as Wells Fargo Lifts Price Target to $796 Ahead of Connect; Alphabet Nudges Higher, Microsoft Holds Flat
- On Monday, Meta Platforms shares rose 7% to $712.56 after Wells Fargo increased its price target to $796, reflecting confidence in early traction for the Muse assistant ahead of Connect.
- Earlier this month, Meta launched Muse, a personal agent designed to perform tasks like sending emails and booking travel across Android, the web, and WhatsApp.
- Investors view the assistant as a significant monetization opportunity, as booking and form-filling capabilities place Meta closer to commerce than traditional feeds, offering new sales potential to advertisers.
- The raised target places pressure on Meta to disclose concrete Muse usage metrics during the upcoming Connect conference, as the company must now justify these expectations to investors.
- While Alphabet rose 2% and Microsoft held flat, Meta's gains suggest a company-specific story rather than a broad verdict on agent-style software, positioning the stock as uniquely driven.
