Wells Fargo's $1,000 Meta target gives up $5 billion of 2027 compute rentals for Muse
Wells Fargo lifted its Meta price target to $1,000 from $796 after removing about $5 billion of expected 2027 compute-resale revenue from its model. The higher target now depends on Muse earning more from the same compute in 2028 and later than a rental tenant would have paid.
