What happened

Meta (META) stock jumped 6.7% to $654.68 on Wednesday after unveiling Muse, its first personal AI agent, as Mizuho and KeyBanc issued bullish notes with price targets above $750. Muse can send emails, book travel, fill forms and make purchases for users through its app, the web, or WhatsApp. It launched Tuesday, September 8, in the US on iOS, Android and web, priced from free up to $100 a month. The analysts said investors have not priced in Meta's next AI product cycle, and the jump was Meta's biggest single-day gain in months, lifting its market value to about $1.67 trillion.

Why it matters

Meta has spent years and tens of billions of dollars building AI systems, and Muse is its first real attempt to turn that spending into something people pay for directly, instead of just better ads. If people trust an AI agent enough to let it book flights or spend their money, it opens a new subscription revenue stream beyond advertising, which still funds nearly all of Meta's business. Wall Street's swift, sizable price-target increases signal that some analysts think this could change how investors value Meta's AI investments.
