Jp Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth has  increased price target of Meta stock to $150  from $115 and raised rating from neutral to overweight. His upgrade is based on:<blockquote>(1) Better cost controls by management on both total expenses and capital expenditures.
(2) Lessening sales impact from Apple iOS privacy changes.
( 3) The company stands to compete more effectively against surging rival TikTok.
(4) Reels monetization may gain steam and become "at least" neutral to sales in later 2023.
(5) Valuation on the stock is "compelling" after the steep 2022 drop.
