  • Meta Platforms: A 'Magnificent Seven' Stock Up 577% in a Decade and Still Undervalued
    January 31, 2026, 4:33 PM EST. Meta Platforms (META) has surged 577% over the past decade despite facing scandals, fines, and criticism. The company reported a 24% revenue jump to $59.9 billion in its latest earnings, driven by AI-enhanced advertising tools aiding ad creation and targeting. Meta's operating income rose 6% to $24.7 billion, with a promising revenue growth outlook of 30% for the next quarter-the fastest in five years. Trading at a price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 25.4, Meta remains cheaper than the S&P 500 average P/E of 28.1 and significantly undervalued compared to its 'Magnificent Seven' tech peers.
