Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) kicked off FAANG earnings Tuesday, announcing quarterly results after the bell, but there's another FAANG name on one investor's radar.
"I have been adding to Facebook," Hightower Advisors' Stephanie Link said Tuesday on CNBC.
She expects many of the technology names to struggle during earnings season, particularly any companies that aren't profitable, but Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:FB) looks attractive ahead of earnings next week, she said.
After falling about 35% to start the year, Meta is trading around 9 times enterprise-value-to-EBITDA, Link stressed.
"This is a profitable company with a $50 billion buyback and I think they are going to get Reels right," she said. "And they still have a very large user base in Facebook, and they have Instagram, which is getting no credit whatsoever."
