Truist analyst Youssef Squali will raise its price target on Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) to $230 from $215 and maintain a buy rating on the stock. The analyst noted that the company’s second round of layoffs, which affects 10,000 jobs, will result in annualized cost savings of $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion and should start having a positive impact on profitability in the second half of the year. The analyst added that the move was welcome given that growth has slowed sharply and future visibility remains uncertain.
