Meta may abandon cloud business for Muse AI agent

Meta Platforms may be forgoing billions in potential cloud revenue as it prioritizes its AI agent Muse. Wells Fargo analysts removed 500 megawatts of expected capacity resales from 2027 estimates, roughly $5 billion in high-margin revenue, due to Muse's early success. The firm raised its price target on Meta to $1,000 from $796, implying nearly 35% upside. Meta launched Muse on Sept. 8, allowing users to delegate tasks like email and travel booking. The company also launched Muse for Small Business and established the Meta Enterprise Platform, hiring MongoDB CEO CJ Desai to run it. Wells Fargo views 2027 as a potential trough with operating expenses around $212 billion, expecting AI revenue to contribute meaningfully in 2028. Meta's advertising engine provides flexibility to invest long-term.
