Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) carries a profit margin of 39.36% and net income of $60.46 billion (FY25), securing its place on our list of the most profitable blue chip stocks to buy according to hedge funds, with analysts seeing 41.10% upside for the stock.
That profitability is supported by a business that continues to grow at a rapid pace
In late April, Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) reported first-quarter revenue of $56.3 billion, up 33% year-over-year and ahead of analyst estimates of $55.5 billion. The growth rate outpaced Alphabet’s and was nearly twice as fast as Microsoft’s and Amazon’s. The results came with one notable caveat: shares fell 10% after management raised 2026 capital expenditure guidance to between $125 billion and $145 billion, up from a prior range of $115 billion to $135 billion.
Analysts, however, remain focused on the longer runway. On June 9, 2026, Truist analyst Youssef Squali reiterated a “Buy” rating on Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) with a price target of $840, framing the company as building its next high-margin revenue segment one subscription at a time. Squali said he remains constructive on Meta as it continues to outpace the digital ad market and diversify into new revenue streams.
