Investor optimism grows after earnings, guidance and dividend boost

Meta delivered fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 earnings that beat estimates, with revenue up 24% to $59.8 billion and earnings per share at $8.88. The company guided for strong revenue next quarter and announced a major capital expenditure plan, targeting $115 billion to $135 billion in 2026 largely for AI and data centers. The board also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.525 per share. These developments received shareholder backing and supported positive momentum.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes the strong uptrend in Meta’s price above key moving averages. He highlights the major capital expenditure plan and dividend as supportive, but stresses volatility and mixed technical indicators cannot be ignored. Kharitonov sees buyers leading but points to clear overbought signals and recent resistance above $730. Sideways trading is probable, with limited upside potential near term. "Any failure to hold support could quickly expose the stock to a broader correction," says Kharitonov.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees robust fundamental strength behind Meta’s uptrend. Strong earnings, solid revenue guidance, and bold investments in AI reinforce long-term bullish momentum. Momentum may be pausing short-term, yet the bullish structure remains intact above key support. Upcoming quarters offer multiple setups as institutional appetite grows. "I expect further growth opportunities should Meta sustain its innovation strategy and break above $736.67," Karapetjanc states.

Upside momentum stalls as overbought signals and volatility emerge

Momentum readings are mixed: MACD and ADX on D1 stay neutral, but the Awesome Oscillator signals “Strong Buy,” aligning with the bullish price action. RSI is bullish but not stretched, while Stochastic RSI, CCI, and BBP all point to overbought conditions, highlighting that buyers dominate but suggesting caution due to possible short-term exhaustion. The stock is up $45.61 or 6.81% from the previous close, opening with a significant gap higher, and is currently priced near the low of today’s intraday range amid strong volatility and some pullback after the early surge; this tone indicates some profit-taking or resistance above $730 despite underlying momentum.

Previously it was reported that Meta Platforms, Inc. is trading well above all key moving averages, reflecting strong bullish momentum supported by positive earnings, AI capex plans, and dividend announcements. However, while technical indicators confirm underlying strength and persistent volatility near session highs, overbought oscillators raise the likelihood of short-term consolidation or a minor pullback.
