Summary

  • Meta shares surged more than 10% intraday after Wells Fargo raised its price target to $796 from $640 and the company’s Muse AI agent app reached No. 1 on Apple’s App Store.
  • Wells Fargo said Meta’s recent AI launches — including Muse Spark and the Muse assistant — show the company now has a clearer commercial AI story after last year’s delays and spending concerns.
  • Mark Zuckerberg has since rebuilt Meta’s AI effort, bringing in Scale AI co-founder Alexandr Wang as chief AI officer and expanding the Muse model family.
  • Wednesday’s Meta Connect conference is the next catalyst, with Zuckerberg set to outline plans for AI and wearables as the stock tries to extend a 30% three-month rally.
