Jefferies reaffirms its 'buy' recommendation on Meta Platforms with a price target raised from $550 to $585, seeing the social networking giant 'rise above its advertising peers with a mega gap'.

Based on its updated market share analysis, the broker believes Meta could capture 50% of the industry's advertising dollar earnings this year, which would be its highest level ever, and well above its 33% in 2023.

In 2024, Jefferies estimates that advertising sales could grow by 20% or more (compared with an industry average of 9%), as the scaling of generative AI advertising tools complements Meta's Advantage+ product suite, 'already best-in-class'.
