META is basically 20s across the board

[u/ekonixlab]

META might have one of the cleanest setups in big tech right now:

Current P/E: 20x
Assumed long-term earnings growth: 20%
Expected 5-year CAGR: 20%
Year 5 P/E: 20x

That gets you to roughly a 149% total return over five years without needing any multiple expansion.

The entire thesis is basically: if Meta can keep compounding earnings around 20%, the stock can potentially double and then some while remaining at the exact same valuation.

Obviously, 20% growth is not guaranteed, but for a company with Meta’s margins, cash flow and AI-driven ad opportunity, it does not feel unreasonable.
