## Elevator Pitch

- Meta has been a major miss for me as the stock has generated +187% over the past \~1.5 years. Yet, I am still hesitant to buy now.
- Meta is facing a slowdown in advertising impressions amid a competitive advertising environment. These headwinds are expected to result in a challenging YoY growth stats in H1 FY25.
- Meta may have to deal with a more scrutinizing FTC Chairman, who has a more hard line stance against big tech media companies and their content management decisions.
- META stock valuations are at a small 8.6% discount vs historical levels. But the relative technicals suggest buyer exhaustion and downside potential ahead.
- TikTok is due to get banned in the US in early Jan'25, but is making an appeal a few days before the case. This is a relevant monitorable for Meta, who stands to gain from an easier competitive ads environment if its competitor is barred from operating in the US.
