META needs to cut back on R&D

5. Nov. 2022

R&D spending on the metaverse and other projects is eating into net income. Revenue is still impressive. People still use Facebook and Instagram. With a P/E of 8.649 nearing the bottom of a parallel channel drawn on the log scale chart, I can’t help but think there’s an options play or even a great long-term buying opportunity waiting to be had some time over the next 6 months. If Meta stops wasting money on pie-in-the-sky R&D endeavors, their financials will look a lot better. I need to further analyze the technicals to try and find support and anticipate timing but for now this is my pre-assessment of the situation.
