Facebook and China’s Tencent are among the most important drivers of SOCL’s returns. Fortunately, analysts are most bullish on Facebook.
“Evercore ISI raised its price target on Facebook to $160 from $155, representing record-high territory for the shares. The stock is currently off 0.2% at $124.07, but touched an all-time peak of $128.33 as recently as July 28. Year-over-year, FB has been an absolute beast on the charts, advancing more than 30%.,” according to Schaeffer’s Investment Research.
