April 30, 2025: Still miffed about a European Commission fine (for being found in breach of the Digital Markets Act), Meta Platforms told European users that they might have to put up with a "materially worse" experience on Meta services. Shareholders, meanwhile, were warned of a "a significant impact" to the tech giant's European business and revenue in the company's Q1 earnings update, which was otherwise broadly positive (showing stronger-than-expected revenue). Analyst Eric Seufert told the BBC that Meta might be seeking to "turn public opinion against this regulatory regime".

Is Meta Platforms under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, let alone a "Magnificent 7" stock, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Meta Platforms P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Meta Platforms's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 28x. In other words, Meta Platforms's shares trade at around 28x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
However, Meta Platforms's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
- Apple (AAPL.US): 30.48
- Amazon-com (AMZN.US): 34.15
- Alphabet Inc Class A (GOOGL.US): 19.34
Meta Platforms's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.3897. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Meta Platforms's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Meta Platforms's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
- Apple (AAPL.US): 1.78
- Amazon-com (AMZN.US): 2.71
- Alphabet Inc Class A (GOOGL.US): 1.33
Meta Platforms's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $88 billion (£64 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of Meta Platforms's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
- Apple (AAPL.US): USD$138.9 billion
- Amazon-com (AMZN.US): USD$126.1 billion
- Alphabet Inc Class A (GOOGL.US): USD$135.7 billion
