The social media giant has been upgraded by the equity company with a new price target of $130
Facebook Inc has been covered by the analysts at equity firm Jefferies in a research survey which was carried out only recently. In the note, the financial company has provided the media giant with a raised price target which shows the positive sentiments the analysts have towards the stock of the firm. According to the news, it was seen that the company was upgraded with a higher than before target on the share price, coming around at $130 where previously it stood at $120. The $10 increase in the expected share value is reported coming from the growth that the giant has lately been making.
Analysts at Jefferies have even talked about a couple of projects that are being carried out by Facebook business namely Instagram’s monetization plans, ads on the videos as well as the main focus on audience networking growth which the social media company has seen to be working to grow to increase its benefit. The analysts are also discussing about the potential that the ads on the videos being run on the website actually has, as it can bring a massive amount of revenue to the networking company in the near future. As per his expectations, of all goes well, the ads being currently shown on videos on the site have the capability of becoming worthy of more than a billion in just a matter of two years.
It is also being believed by the analysts that by the year 2017, the ad business will grow so much that the expected worth of the whole industry by then is coming around at $17 billion for a single year in the country, which clearly shows the positivity that could come to the media company in the coming times. Apart from the social media site, analysts also believe that Google’s YouTube also has a great opportunity to run side by side with the networking website, as it can also benefit massively with the ad regime.
On the other hand, when looking at the potential Instagram has for Facebook business, the analysts have turned out to be rather on the neutral side, as so far the giant has not taking many measures to make this photo sharing platform to become a monetized one, a step which has gathered a lot of criticism from the market at large. Apart from that, the media company audience networking project is sure to bring about more users to the site, which has automatically made the analysts covering the firm positive about its future.
