Key Points:

Meta Platforms (META) stock has risen about 8% over the past five days, outperforming the S&P 500 ETF, driven by positive sentiment ahead of its Q4 earnings report scheduled for January 28.
Bank of America analysts expect Meta’s Q4 revenue and EPS to exceed Wall Street estimates, with projections of $59.2 billion in revenue and $8.27 EPS, and they maintain a buy rating with an $810 price target.
Meta’s recent layoffs in its Reality Labs division, which has incurred $73 billion in losses since 2021, and the absence of a large one-time tax charge that impacted Q3 earnings are contributing to optimism about improved financial results.
