Event Summary

This event analyzes why Meta Platforms and Microsoft are considered 'dirt cheap' artificial intelligence (AI) stocks despite their strong growth prospects. Meta Platforms' revenue rose 33% year over year in Q1, driven by its advertising business and AI improvements, but its stock is down due to massive AI spending concerns. Microsoft's AI business grew 123% year over year, with its Microsoft — Microsoft Azure cloud unit growing 40%, yet its stock has also seen a dip. Both companies are trading at lower forward price-to-earnings ratios than the S&P 500, making them attractive investment opportunities for those looking for value in the AI sector.
