Alphabet: The Magnificent 7 Bubble Has Burst, It Is Time To Buy
GOOG, GOOGL
Published: May 01, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Alphabet faces potential headwinds from generative AI and a weakening economy, but its core advertising business continues to generate solid growth and profit margins. The cloud division is experiencing rapid revenue growth and expanding margins, driven by generative AI, and is expected to continue this trend. Alphabet's strong balance sheet supports a robust capital return program, including significant share repurchases and dividends, which should lead to a re-rating of the stock.

After Q1 Earnings, I Would Rather Invest In Meta Than Alphabet
GOOG, GOOGL, META
Published: May 01, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

I think Meta Platforms, Inc.'s advertising business is more innovative than Alphabet's, leveraging diverse ad formats across evolving platforms, while Alphabet relies heavily on its Search monopoly (55% of revenue). META leverages AI to accelerate its business, showing 21% YoY growth, while Alphabet uses AI defensively to protect its search monopoly. Despite META's 98% ad reliance versus Alphabet's 75%, META's lower PE/G ratio (1.71 vs. 2.18) suggests it's undervalued, with potential 25% stock upside to match Alphabet's valuation.

Alphabet: On Track To Retest $200s By Year End
GOOG, GOOGL
Published: May 01, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Alphabet is the cheapest of the Mag 7 by pretty much every valuation metric, except P/S, where it's trailing behind Amazon. I believe AI Overviews and the upcoming AI Mode are strong growth drivers for ad revenue without (this is key) disrupting Google's core search business. Waymo's autonomous ride-hailing business is way ahead of its competitors, achieving 250,000 rides/week and expanding operations in both the US and now abroad (Japan).

Alphabet's stock is undervalued after a recent 16.3% drop, with strong growth in Google Cloud and Google Services justifying a 'strong buy' rating. Alphabet's revenue grew 12% year-over-year to $90.23 billion, driven by significant increases in Google Cloud, YouTube ads, and subscription services.

Alphabet's Q1 earnings were strong, yet the stock trades at historically low valuations.
