Bull Case

Ad revenue machine generating $50B+ annually with 22% upside to $800 target. AI recommendation engine driving engagement gains across Instagram and Facebook. Llama open-source strategy builds developer ecosystem moat. Reality Labs losses narrowing with Quest 3 momentum.

Bear Case

Weakest enhanced signal in the portfolio (1.71) — underperforming every other held name on risk-adjusted basis. Below both 50 and 200 DMAs with dead cross forming — structural technical weakness. $40B+ Reality Labs cumulative losses with uncertain ROI timeline. Regulatory headwinds on smart glasses (UK/US investigations).

Thesis Breakers

Ad revenue growth below 10%, Llama ecosystem loses to closed-source competitors, Reality Labs losses reaccelerate
