KeyBanc Lifts Meta (META) to $800, Sees AI Fueling Future Upside
Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:) is one of the AI Stocks on Wall Street's Radar. On July 17, KeyBanc analyst Justin Patterson raised the firm's price target on the stock to $800 from $655 and kept an 'Overweight' rating on the shares. Owing to strong revenue momentum, Keybanc has raised its 2025 and 2026 revenue and EPS. However, it is also aware that there may be increased spending on artificial intelligence in terms of both capital expenses and operating costs. The firm doesn't think this is going to be a problem as long as Meta can explain how its AI investments are paying off. 'We expect 2Q revenue comes in at $45.3B, and expect 3Q revenue guidance for $45B-$47.5B (we are modeling $46.5B). While we have raised our 2025E and 2026E revenue and EPS to reflect revenue momentum, we are mindful that there are upward biases to capex and opex from AI investments and are thus slightly below consensus."

Osteoarthritis Complications
Key takeaways Osteoarthritis (OA) can lead to sleep disruption due to pain and stiffness, which can intensify pain and limit mobility. Reduced productivity and weight gain are common complications, as pain and stiffness can decrease activity levels, leading to additional health risks like diabetes and heart disease. OA can also contribute to mental health issues like anxiety and depression, impacting overall quality of life, and may result in other complications like bone death or nerve damage. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition that results in joint damage. It's caused by wear and tear of cartilage, the tissue protecting the ends of your bones and joints. This exposes the nerve endings in bones and results in OA pain. OA is the most common form of arthritis. It's degenerative, getting worse with age, but can also occur following injury. Without treatment, chronic pain from OA can lead to complications and can significantly affect your quality of life. What are the symptoms of OA? Common symptoms of OA include: pain, tenderness, and stiffness in joints loss of flexibility bone spurs a grating sensation of bones rubbing together What are the risk factors of OA? Some things put you at a higher risk of getting osteoarthritis, including: Older age: Cartilage deteriorates naturally with age. Gender: Women are more likely to develop OA, though it isn't understood why. Overweight or obese: Extra weight may put more stress on joints. Joint injury: Weak joints are more susceptible to OA. · Hypermobility: Having hypermobile joints or loose ligaments can increase risk. Genetics: Some people inherit the tendency to develop OA. Bone deformities: Being born with malformed bones or cartilage can increase your risk of OA. Certain jobs: Physically demanding jobs or jobs that require repetitive stress on joints can increase your chances of developing OA. What are the complications of OA? For many people, OA is a source of chronic pain that can be exhausting and debilitating. It can also lead to problems with anxiety and depression. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Adults with arthritis are about 2.5 times more likely to experience a fall or injury. In 2015, 15 million U.S. adults said they had severe joint pain from arthritis. About 1 in 25 U.S. adults (ages 18 to 64) name arthritis as a cause of work limitations. In addition to causing pain, there are a number of ways in which OA can impact your life. Sleep disruption Achy, tender joints interfere with restful, restorative sleep. Not getting a full night's sleep can make your pain seem intensified. Stiffness and limited range of motion can also keep you from getting comfortable in bed. Reduced productivity Many people miss multiple days of work per year because of chronic joint pain. Arthritis can also result in a decreased ability to perform normal everyday activities such as: household chores cooking getting dressed exercise and other activities In general, function can be improved with treatment. However, some people with OA may need assistance with simple day-to-day activities. Weight gain Pain and stiffness can decrease your desire to be active. You may stop wanting to participate in activities that used to bring you joy. Arthritis may cause a decreased ability to exercise or even walk. The lack of activity doesn't only limit your enjoyment of life — it can cause weight gain. Extra weight may exacerbate OA symptoms, as well as lead to an increased risk of other complications, including: diabetes hypertension heart disease Anxiety and depression A 2010 study investigated the link between anxiety and depression and OA, finding that the pain of OA symptoms negatively affected mental health. More than 40 percent of the study's participants showed increased anxiety and depression as a result of OA symptoms. Other complications Other complications that can arise from OA include: bone death (osteonecrosis) stress fractures bleeding or infection in joints deterioration of tendons and ligaments around joints pinched nerve, in OA of the spine What are the treatment options for OA? There's no cure for OA, so treatment aims to manage symptoms and improve joint function, flexibility, and balance. This helps prevent falls which can lead to fractures. It's important to control pain while increasing mobility and joint functioning. Physical therapy can help increase mobility. Exercise is key to staying limber and maintaining your weight. But be careful not to overuse your joints and make symptoms worse. Take frequent breaks when exercising. There are many medications available to relieve OA pain, including acetaminophen (Tylenol) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen. Corticosteroid injections can be given directly into joints to help reduce swelling and relieve pain, and injections of viscosupplements may provide extra cushioning in joints. Depending on the severity of your OA, your doctor may suggest surgery to replace entire joints. Alternative practices can help increase mobility, reduce stress, and improve your general outlook on life. These include: tai chi yoga acupuncture water therapy such as swimming or exercising in a hot tub What's the long-term outlook for people with OA? Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition. If left untreated, it'll get worse with time. Although death from OA is rare, it's a significant cause of disability among adults. It's important to talk to your doctor if OA is impacting your quality of life. Surgery to replace joints may be an option, as well as pain medication and lifestyle changes.
