FB - Even Deeper Correction, Another 60% Drop?

Short
NASDAQ:META   Meta Platforms
With poor earnings report in the first quarter of 2022 and downbeat forecast for the second quarter, rising competition from TikTok - can we expect even further fall for META ?

Fundamental indicators:
  • Revenue and Profits - consistently strong growth up until now but 2022 may be the first year when the rate slows down which is putting investors off at the moment
  • Profit margin - impressive 31% last year but will be reducing with growing CAPEX for Metaverse
  • P/E - already reasonable ration at 16x
  • Liabilities - no problems with debt

Technically:
  • Following IPO back in 2012 Meta has enjoyed explosive growth cycle which has culminated in September 2021
  • All of this movement can be marked as an initial 5 wave impulse and now we are observing the development of the global second wave which is normally very deep and rapid
  • The structure of the second wave is very likely to be an ABC zigzag where waves A and B have already completed
  • Waves 1 to 3 of C have already formed and fourth is taking shape as a Running Flat
  • The fact that this correction is tilted in the direction of trend, i.e. Running, the fifth wave can be quite aggressive and reach circa $96 which represents 0.786 Fibonacci retracement of the global wave 1, or possibly even deeper

What do you think about META and its future?
