GOOG, GOOGL
Published: April 21, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

I'm upgrading Alphabet Inc. aka Google stock to a strong buy ahead of Q1 2025 earnings despite tariff and antitrust challenges. The stock is down 22% YTD and is now trading at $150, which I think is an attractive price for those looking to hold the stock for the long term.

Alphabet: Search Hegemony In Jeopardy
GOOG, GOOGL
Published: April 21, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

With the advent of next-gen, reasoning AI, Alphabet's search business, Google, has never been more controversial. Today, I will walk us through the considerations associated with the current search landscape, which, in my view, is experiencing dramatic evolution. Meta AI and OpenAI, with their 1B+ user total, have now firmly established themselves as legitimate search platforms, and, as they improve their tech, this trend will continue. That said, it's not all bad for Alphabet and its search property.

Alphabet Earnings Outlook: Considering Bull Spreads For Quick And Aggressive Rebound
GOOG, GOOGL
Published: April 21, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Alphabet's Q1 2025 outlook is strong, driven by a resilient ad market, explosive cloud growth, and increasing Gemini adoption, aligning with Guggenheim's 8% ad revenue growth forecast. Google Cloud is expected to maintain 25-30% YoY growth with $12.3 billion revenue and $2 billion EBIT, bolstered by AI innovations and strategic acquisitions.

Alphabet's AI advancement to leadership, particularly in large language models (LLMs), is noteworthy, but LLMs alone don't generate revenue. Alphabet's ad business has lagged behind Meta's, which has successfully integrated AI into its advertising and analytics systems. With earnings approaching, I don't expect any surprising revenue-generating products from Alphabet, given its recent lack of revenue-producing innovation.
