Big Tech’s $600B AI Bet: Meta Target Raised 11/15/25
Key Stories:

Engie, the French utility giant, is making significant strides in the green energy market, showcasing remarkable stock performance. The company has delivered a strong 40% year-to-date share price return and an impressive 54% total shareholder return over the past year. This momentum is heavily supported by new power purchase agreements with global titans like Apple, the iPhone maker, and pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca. Engie’s growing renewable energy project pipeline, particularly in Italy, is reinforcing its position in the sustainable energy sector. Investors should continue to monitor Engie’s ability to secure more high-profile green energy deals as the global transition to renewables accelerates.
Shifting gears to the artificial intelligence landscape, a striking dichotomy is emerging. Despite a recent sharp pullback in major AI-focused tech stocks, including Tesla, Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company, software giant Microsoft, data analytics firm Palantir Technologies, and chip-making powerhouse Nvidia, big tech firms are reportedly planning to spend a staggering $600 billion on AI initiatives. This massive corporate investment signals a profound, long-term commitment to AI development, suggesting that any recent market jitters might be a temporary correction rather than a fundamental shift in the AI sector’s trajectory. We’ll be closely watching if this corporate spending translates into renewed investor confidence and a rebound in these AI-related stocks.
Building directly on that AI theme, social media giant Meta Platforms is certainly garnering bullish attention. Freedom Capital recently upgraded Meta to a ‘Buy’ rating from ‘Hold,’ maintaining a robust price target of $800. This optimistic outlook comes despite broader market concerns about the heavy investments Meta is pouring into its extensive artificial intelligence strategy. The analyst firm believes the substantial long-term upside from Meta’s expanding AI capabilities far outweighs current spending, positioning the company as a compelling stock for investors to watch. This move further underscores a growing conviction in the strategic long-term value of AI initiatives among analysts.
Looking ahead to what could move markets, next week promises a flurry of critical economic data and corporate earnings. Investors will be keenly awaiting quarterly results from several household names, including chipmaker Nvidia, home improvement retailer Home Depot, general merchandise giant Target, and big-box retailer Walmart. Beyond corporate reports, the Federal Reserve’s October FOMC meeting minutes are due for release, offering invaluable insights into the central bank’s monetary policy thinking. And to cap it all off, the highly anticipated September jobs report is scheduled for Thursday, November 20th. These events collectively have the potential to set the market’s tone for the weeks to come.
Finally, let’s talk banking, as Morgan Stanley analysts have just raised their price target on Bank of America Corporation, one of the nation’s largest financial institutions. The new target moves from $67 to a more bullish $70, driven by the bank’s clear path to achieving robust Return on Tangible Common Equity, or ROTC, growth, projected to be between 16% and 18%. This positive revision highlights confidence in Bank of America’s fundamental growth metrics and profitability despite the evolving interest rate environment. Investors in the financial sector will be looking for other major banks to demonstrate similar clarity and growth potential in their upcoming reports.
