Shares of Meta Platforms are suffering in Monday’s big sell-off – and they are worth snapping up, according to G Squared Private Wealth’s Victoria Greene. The information technology sector of the S & P 500 suffered keenly as the stock market swooned amid investors’ heightening fears of a recession. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite slid roughly 4% on Monday afternoon, and Meta tumbled more than 4%. The chief investment officer joined CNBC’s “Power Lunch” on Monday to discuss the tech giant, as well as Williams-Sonoma and Coinbase . Here’s what she had to say about each: Meta Platforms Greene considers Meta a buy, saying the Facebook parent has been unfairly swept up in the recent tech sell-off. The G Squared founding partner said Meta can increase profit through artificial intelligence with targeted ads. She said the company should have more insulated revenue than other megacap tech companies due to its range of products. “For me, this is a screaming buy,” she said. “I love Meta. They’re one of the only companies that is actually implementing AI to drive higher revenues.” Meta is up just about 2% in 2025, making it the best performer of stocks in the “Magnificent Seven.” Yet Wall Street sees a rebound. The average analyst has a buy rating and a price target suggesting shares can rally more than 26%, per LSEG. Williams-Sonoma Williams-Sonoma is a topic of discussion following the Friday announcement that it would enter into the benchmark S & P 500 index later this month. Greene called the stock a buy. Looking ahead to quarterly results from the home retailer, she said to expect “brisk” holiday sales. Greene also said guidance will be paramount, with the retailer needing to show an improvement in big-ticket purchases. “It’s a buy for me going into earnings next week,” Greene said. She also noted that Williams-Sonoma is driven more by the Pottery Barn brand currently, which she called a more defensive segment. Williams-Sonoma shares are up less than 1% this year, which is modest after back-to-back years of big runs. Most analysts polled by LSEG have a hold rating, with a price target implying shares will be roughly flat from here.

The crypto trading platform was considered a candidate that was snubbed from S & P 500 inclusion. Shares also took a bath on Monday, tanking more than 16% as bitcoin fell. Greene questioned the company’s competitive edge if crypto becomes more regulated and mainstream. She said the stock could likely retest the one-year low around $150.

But Wall Street foresees a big bounce: While the majority of analysts polled by LSEG have hold ratings, the average price target reflects upside of 83%. “I think it’s a bad time to be buying this type of risk,” Greene said. “Just because it’s low doesn’t mean it can’t go lower.”
