Meta Share Price Soars to Record Thanks to First-ever DividendMeta Share Price Soars to Record Thanks to First-ever Dividend After the close of yesterday's trading session, the social media giant reported activity for the 4th quarter of 2023. The actual numbers exceeded expectations: → gross income: actual = USD 40.1 billion (expected = USD 39.1 billion); → earnings per share: actual = USD 5.3 billion (expected = USD 4.8 billion). Zuckerberg's company also announced a USD 50 billion share buyback and, most importantly, the decision to pay dividends for the first time! As a result, META's share price soared approximately +15% to record highs. In the post-market, the META price exceeded USD 450 — this value may be a guideline for the opening of today's trading. The META stock chart today shows that the price has broken out of the ascending channel within which it has been since May last year. If widespread optimism about the company's progress continues, META's stock price could maintain its bullish momentum and rise closer to the blue line (drawn on the chart as a parallel channel) and the psychological USD 500 mark. On the other hand, indicators will show that the market is overbought and some investors will probably take advantage of the temptation to take profits after the price soars - this will create the preconditions for the formation of a pullback. The wide bullish gap that is likely to form at the opening of today's session could serve as an area of support for the META share price in the future - note that the price has not yet fallen into the May 2023 gap area. In any case, fundamentally, META looks strong and could be considered a candidate for a long-term investment portfolio (if you don't already have it there).

META Update: Wave ((1)) extendingWave ((1)) of III is extending which isn't too surprising. As said before, this is a wave 3 and those typically extend and are the strongest waves within an impulsive count. We met some resistance around the 0.786 extension that a mentioned in a prior post. This to me is starting to look like an ED and should be concluding soon. When it does finally conclude it will be a strong and swift move to the downside to get the wave ((2)) kicked off. Anytime and ED ends it moves back towards the point of origination very quickly. It is a function of traders finally giving up on the current trend simultaneously which creates the strength usually seen. MACD suggest this thing is running on fumes though and should reverse soon. It may end up hitting the 1.0 before reversing, but odds of it going past that fib extension are slim. Time will tell what META has in mind but if it follows Apple then it should reverse soon. Make sure to use stops to protect your assets. Good luck y'all!

Meta's Triumphant Return: A Resilient Journey Back to the Club In a remarkable turnaround, Meta Platforms ( NASDAQ:META ) has once again ascended to the prestigious trillion-dollar market cap, reclaiming its position alongside tech titans Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Nvidia. This resurgence comes after a tumultuous period in 2022 when NASDAQ:META faced significant challenges, leading to a brief exit from the exclusive trillion-dollar stock club. Mark Zuckerberg's brainchild, NASDAQ:META , formerly known as Facebook, experienced a rollercoaster ride in the financial markets. After reaching a trillion-dollar market cap in 2021, the company grappled with difficulties throughout 2022, resulting in a staggering 64% loss in its share value. However, Meta's recent performance has been nothing short of impressive, with a notable 11% gain in the first month of 2024. The pivotal moment occurred on Friday when Meta's shares not only fully recovered beyond their late 2021 high but also closed at 384.36. Although NASDAQ:META had briefly surpassed the trillion-dollar market cap in early Monday trading, it was a previous stock buyback that had kept the total market cap below the 2021 peak. This recent achievement signals NASDAQ:META 's resilience and its ability to overcome past setbacks. The transformation for NASDAQ:META began in late 2022, as the company strategically cut costs while experiencing a rebound in advertising sales. The market responded positively to these measures, paving the way for Meta's steady climb back to the trillion-dollar milestone. The company's upcoming test comes on Thursday, Feb. 1, when it will report fourth-quarter earnings after the market closes. Analysts are optimistic about NASDAQ:META 's financial performance, projecting a robust 21% year-over-year sales increase to $38.9 billion for the fourth quarter, according to FactSet. Earnings are expected to soar by 175% year over year to $4.84 a share. The market's renewed confidence in NASDAQ:META reflects not only a financial recovery but also the company's strategic resilience and adaptability. As NASDAQ:META prepares to unveil its fourth-quarter earnings, all eyes will be on Mark Zuckerberg and his team to see if they can sustain this impressive momentum and solidify their position in the trillion-dollar stock club.

Meta Update: Waiting for the topMeta has just barely pushed out of the top of my target box. This is still the area I expect it to end and isn't entirely surprising as I am counting this as the wave ((1)) of III. Wave 3's of any degree are very strong and the most likely wave to extend beyond standard fibs. This high is on neg div and should be concluding soon. Once it finally does top, the next target is kind of a wide box. That is because it is a wave 2 and they can be unpredictable as they can either be long and shallow or short and deep. Once we get the A wave carved out it will give us an idea of the time duration for ((2)), and then the subsequent b wave will help guide us to the C wave bottom for ((2)). I would not be surprised if the impending retrace took the entire rest of the year or even longer. As stated above 2's can be unpredictable. If you are long Meta, I highly recommend you have stops in place to protect your assets. If this is to be standard, then a highly likely end point for the retrace will be around the 0.382 fib in the low $200 area but could easily drop to the 0.236 @ $174.65.

Meta Take Profit + 111% !January 2024 After the important portfolio rebalancing at the beginning of the year, Meta shares also reach the target. after a more than positive Christmas rally, supported by the market, I brought home a generous 111% (slightly better at the time of order execution). As always they are part of the profits because Meta is one of those companies in my portfolio. Now watch out for the quarterly which will tell us a lot about this latest rise. I am curious, especially about the new projects on augmented reality and the application of AI in its social and VR platforms. On the other hand, the European "ban" on ads and the rumour about a possible "subscription" to bypass them are a heavy question mark for a market, even if secondary, still important and strongly connected to the United States. Next target: we are close to $400, if the quarterly reports are in line or beat expectations, the price will likely at least be tested. Otherwise, if a new retracement were to start, we could easily find the price between $333 and $300 in the area. A level where I would otherwise return to buy. Happy trading Lazy Bull
