14 fair value estimates

My price target or fair value assessment of Meta is around $850 today, which is around a 40% upside.

Carlson pointed to Meta's growth, the adoption of its agentic tool Muse, management's decisions and the cash flow he expects it to generate over the next 10 years. He said that at $850 the forward P/E would be around 26, which he called reasonable.

A fair value estimate is the speaker's view of what an asset is worth, given without a date by which the price should get there. With no deadline there is nothing to check, so we record the estimate as said, next to the close of the day before, and never mark it as Hit or Missed.
