Score9/10Day / week +6.0% / +10.1%New business Meta Compute: selling surplus AI compute and modelsIn-house silicon Iris chip ships September, ~14GW targeted next yearYTD Flipped positive

TechnicalsUp 6.0% on 1.9x volume to $669.21, +10.1% for the week, clearing both the 50- and 200-day in two sessions and flipping YTD positive. RSI 66.3 is warm, not extreme; the $700 round number and $740 prior-high zone are staged targets, with gap support at $640.

FundamentalsMeta Compute reprices 'excess capex' as 'cloud revenue optionality': Wolfe Research models ~20% EPS upside per gigawatt of cloud capacity. The Iris chip ships in September targeting ~14GW next year, and the Muse Spark/Image model suite lands across the ad stack — for the first time, ads and compute form a twin-engine narrative.

NewsShares rose 6% on announcement day, turning positive for the year, with WSB mentions exploding a second day (57→240→sustained). Wolfe backed the new story with an $800 target, and the market began re-marking its capex through the AVGO/ORCL compute-valuation lens.

Long Bullish

Holding: narrative upgrade, dual-average breakout and the YTD flip give triple confirmation. Stop raised from $590 to $620 (under the gap's lower rim) to lock the re-rating gain; a gap-fill below $620 before late-July earnings would mean the market isn't paying for the new story.

Accumulate

Ad cash cow, Meta Compute optionality and Iris cost-down run in parallel — a rare megacap whose new story just opened to page one; if the 14GW target lands, cloud becomes the second revenue curve.

  • Above-plan capex squeezing free cash flow
