META Bear case
META (bear case): Author's largest position, laying out bear case post-Q2 (-8.5%). Q2 missed EPS, raised capex w/ no forward guidance. Rev in-line despite capex ramp; opex +55% y/y, R&D +67% on unproven AI; COGS>rev = worse incremental margins. Shift from social moat to compete w/ OpenAI/Anthropic/hyperscalers w/ no proven ROI. RL loses $10-20B/yr. Off-BS commitments $237B→$349B in 3mo. Litigation risk (addictive design suits). At 15x NTM P/E, trough was HSD. Bull: strong network effects, founder-led cash geyser, cheap vs normalized OI.
