JPMorgan upgraded Meta to buy, citing strong early adoption of the Muse AI agent and potential for AI-driven advertising improvements. The firm simultaneously raised its forecast for negative free cash flow to between $65 billion and $75 billion annually in 2027 and 2028, attributing this to increased compute demand from successful AI projects. This divergence highlights a structural tension where aggressive capital deployment outpaces immediate operating cash generation. For financial institutions, this signals that Meta's current valuation relies heavily on future monetization success rather than near-term cash flow sustainability.
