Facebook remains most commonly used platform for SMB advertisers - Morgan Stanley

Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak reiterated an overweight rating and a $550.00 price target for Meta Platforms Inc. According to an analyst's report, Facebook remains the most commonly used platform, with a 75% adoption rate. However, TikTok adoption is also increasing. Meanwhile, the trends for Search and Snap are more tempered. FB Messenger, Reels, TikTok, and Amazon are the platforms that stand out for forward intent to spend, while SNAP also performs well on this measure. Advantage Plus and PMax are seeing rising adoption rates and delivering an average 7% ROAS lift across both products.
