Meta's stock closed at $543.67 on August 18 after a sharp 4.45% drop, driven primarily by the start of a high-stakes California trial alleging the company designed platforms to addict children, exposing it to up to $200 billion in potential liability. This legal overhang has fueled short-term trader caution ahead of the August 20 close, outweighing ongoing AI infrastructure spending and monetization efforts. Analysts maintain long-term buy ratings with targets above $780, citing ad revenue growth and Llama model progress, but near-term resolution hinges on trial updates or any positive AI capability demonstrations that could stabilize sentiment before the weekend.
