On September 30, Meta Platforms, Inc. rose 3.05% in regular trading, trading at $738.75/share, with turnover of $14.19 billion. The rebound follows two consecutive sessions of declines totaling roughly 8%.
Multiple catalysts converged to drive the recovery. Meta signed an AI infrastructure agreement with Firmus to build GPU compute capacity at Southeast Asian facilities on NVIDIA's full-stack DSX platform, supporting the company's AI research, development, and training workloads. Simultaneously, the company officially launched its enterprise AI division, Meta Enterprise Platform, tapping former MongoDB CEO CJ Desai to lead the unit — a move CEO Zuckerberg described as the company's next important business pillar. Meta also released Muse Voice Transcribe, its first real-time audio perception model, further expanding the Muse ecosystem.
On the analyst front, Monness Crespi & Hardt raised its price target to $830 from $730, while the consensus target stands at approximately $787.52 with an average buy rating. The string of strategic announcements appears to have offset recent headwinds including a potential $219 billion fine risk from a New Mexico court ruling and reported security vulnerabilities in Muse.
