1. Meta Platforms

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) ranks as one of the largest digital advertising platforms globally, driven by its widely used social media and messaging applications, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The company is significantly enhancing its user engagement through its artificial intelligence (AI) model, Llama, which has proven effective in bolstering advertising campaigns. This was evident in last quarter’s performance, with ad impressions rising 6% and advertising prices increasing by 14%.

Meta envisions evolving Llama into a top-tier AI assistant with autonomous capabilities and continues to pursue its ambitious goal of building a metaverse for users. Notably, the company excels at monetizing its substantial user base, achieving a global average revenue per user (ARPU) of $14.25 in Q4, significantly outpacing its competitors.

Additionally, Meta’s new social media platform, Threads, presents a significant growth opportunity. Historically, the company has effectively built and monetized user bases, and Threads currently attracts about one million new users daily, expected to reach 320 million monthly active users by the end of 2024.

2. Pinterest

Another notable contender in the social media sector is Pinterest (NYSE: PINS). This platform serves as an online vision board, attracting over 550 million monthly active users (MAU), predominantly female. Its reach extends beyond the U.S., with 101 million domestic MAUs, 145 million in Europe, and 307 million in other regions, showcasing its international appeal.

Pinterest has made substantial investments to enhance its platform’s shoppability. Innovations like in-app checkout and AI-driven recommendations, along with partnerships with Amazon and others, are designed to improve the shopping experience.

A key growth avenue for Pinterest lies in narrowing its ARPU gap with competitors. Notably, its rest-of-world market makes up 56% of its MAUs but had only a $0.19 ARPU last quarter. Through collaborations with Alphabet’s Google and local retailers, Pinterest aims to leverage this vast user base for better monetization.

3. Netflix

In the crowded streaming landscape, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) remains the dominant player both in the U.S. and globally. The company continues to expand its subscriber base while strategically phasing out lower-tier plans, allowing for better pricing power.

Looking ahead, the growing segment of ad-supported subscription tiers represents Netflix’s most significant opportunity. Last quarter, across regions with ad-based options, 55% of new signups opted for these offerings. As Netflix develops this segment further, ads are likely to play an increasingly integral role, complemented by initiatives such as live event advertising for programs like WWE’s Monday Night Raw.

4. Adobe

Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE) stands out as a leader in creative software, offering widely used programs like Photoshop, InDesign, and Lightroom. Additionally, it leads in PDF solutions with Acrobat and provides digital marketing and customer experience solutions through the Adobe Experience Cloud.

The company has consistently delivered low double-digit revenue growth, including a notable 10% growth last quarter. Adobe is actively engaging with AI through its generative model, Adobe Firefly, which is enhancing creative processes such as text-to-image generation and smart edits in photos. An AI assistant for Acrobat products is also in development.

The path forward for Adobe includes better monetizing its AI solutions. Currently, it operates on a credit-based model, which has faced user frustrations due to inconsistent results. Recently, Adobe is shifting towards offering multiple subscription tiers, such as a new stand-alone service for Firefly. Moving away from the credit system could help facilitate stronger growth and boost stock performance.
