Meta Platforms, Inc. (META)
META sits in the AVOID bucket despite a low PE percentile and a "cheap" valuation verdict because the price is far above its estimated floor, the available PE history is too short to confirm the floor
- The current PE of $21.20 ranks at the 0th percentile (cheapest ever in the data), and the earnings-based floor is $249.19, yet the market price of $584.59 is 134.6% above that floor — a sign the floor is not capturing current market dynamics.
- The floor confidence is "low" due to insufficient PE history (only 40 months of 60 required), and a fallback valuation-floor calculation actually produced an inverted result ($763.49 floor > $584.59 price), undermining the reliability of the cheap signal.
- Implied volatility rank is 76.9% (high), adding uncertainty that argues against entering despite the low PE; the buyzone is tagged "far," confirming the price remains distant from a defensible value anchor.

Glossary (click to expand)
- Forward P/E
- P/E using analysts' next-12-month EPS estimates. More forward-looking than trailing P/E, but exposed to forecast error.
- Trailing P/E
- P/E using actual EPS from the last 12 months. Distorted by one-time events (asset sales, impairments) until they roll out of the window.
- P/B (Price-to-Book)
- Stock price / book value per share. Meaningful for asset-driven sectors (banks, insurers); high values are normal for asset-light sectors (tech, consumer).
- PEG
- P/E ÷ earnings growth rate — \"how much P/E you pay per 1% of growth\". <1 = cheap-ish, >2 = priced-in.
- Regime-mismatch drawdown model
- When P/E distribution undergoes a structural shift (business transformation, sector re-rating), traditional \"revert to historical P/E percentile\" misleads. This model uses historical max drawdown × current EPS instead.
- EPV (Earnings Power Value)
- Greenwald framework: assume zero growth + current earning power is sustainable. Yields a conservative lower bound (asset + franchise value).
- Heuristic Fallback
- Backup estimator used when the primary method (P/E percentile, yield reversion, etc.) is unreliable due to data issues. **Lower confidence** — reference only, not auto-execute.
- Confidence
- Primary method applicable → high; multiple methods agree → medium; single heuristic fallback → low. Low confidence means review before acting.
method skipped: insufficient PE history (40 months, need 60)

Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) — what's the SELL PUT risk profile?
Selling cash-secured puts on Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) is a common income strategy, but the right strike depends on your floor price (the level you'd happily own at) and the option chain's buffer/APY tradeoff. The full ladder view (deferred to a future release) ranks candidates by buffer percentage first, then APY — see the option ladder methodology for why buffer matters more than yield in this strategy.
Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) — which option strategy fits your view?

The wrong strategy on the right ticker still loses money — match the trade to your view, not the other way around.

FAQ
Why does META show different P/E numbers on different sites?
Different data providers use different earnings windows (TTM vs forward, GAAP vs adjusted) and update at different cadences. We surface trailing P/E with a 5-year percentile rank to give context — a P/E of 30 is hot for one stock and cold for another.
Does this page show META's implied volatility?
Not on this v0 page — the dedicated volatility tool covers IV with multi-source voting (IBKR + Polygon + yfinance). For pure IV lookup, use /tools/volatility. This page is for decision-stage queries that pull together valuation + portfolio context.
How is this different from Yahoo Finance or 雪球's META page?
Those sites are great for raw data discovery — last price, news, headline P/E. This page is built for the second look: you've already seen a single-dimension signal somewhere else, now you need multi-dimensional decision context (your floor, the valuation percentile, your portfolio overlay) in one view, not five tabs.
