Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta Platforms (META) has proved its critics wrong as its shares have recently climbed to new heights, largely thanks to its artificial intelligence-driven strategy. Central to this AI strategy is “Superintelligence,” a long-term vision Zuckerberg has for creating AI systems that exceed human-level intelligence across many domains.

And although Zuckerberg burned shareholders before with the metaverse, his last passion project, Superintelligence feels different. Unlike the metaverse, AI is a megatrend that is already revolutionizing daily life. And Meta, with its arsenal of popular social media platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, is betting big on AI to drive growth in the coming years. Meta is hiring big to staff this revolution, with Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang tasked with heading the new Superintelligence unit at Meta.

The market seems to be convinced this time, with Meta stock already up about 23% on a YTD basis.

Can Meta sustain this rally? I believe so, and here is why.

Meta has been doubling down on its AI ambitions, both by making significant financial commitments and by attracting top talent from rival firms. To that end, the company has reportedly extended compensation offers ranging from $50 million to $100 million to lure engineers away from OpenAI and Anthropic. It also made a $14.3 billion investment for a 49% stake in Scale AI, a startup recognized for its industry-leading data labeling capabilities. This investment positions Meta advantageously when it comes to securing high-quality training datasets.

With such resources in place, Mark Zuckerberg is equipping Meta’s AI models to be not just competitive, but potentially market-leading.

Meta’s powerful cash generation is giving it the flexibility to aggressively invest in AI infrastructure. The company has earmarked $60 billion to $72 billion for capital spending in 2025, much of which will be spent on building and upgrading data centers. This rapid pace of investment demonstrates Meta’s conviction that long-term value can be realized by investing in innovation-driven scale.
