It is the least expensive of the Magnificent 7 at 18 1/2 times earnings. It has been weighed down by the tech slide and the threat by the Department of Justice to break it up. However the U.S. protected TikTok from being shut down. Also investors are worried about ChatBot eating into the search component but he feels that this is not commercial intent but more knowledge seeking. Buy 60 Hold 15 Sell 0
(Analysts’ price target is $219.72)All the AI stocks are expensive. Also, the AI infrastructure is becoming vastly overbuilt and revenue from it isn't imminent. This makes them risky. It came off a perfect triple top, and that was the time to take profits.
In a bear market, it'll come down in steps and you might even see a little bounce. But don't confuse a little bounce with a new bull market. It'll be part of a broader narrative that AI stocks are going to be wiped out.
The ones that are nice to King Trump. He'd hope that TSLA and AAPL would escape additional tariffs on China.
Except for TSLA, the other Mag 6 have come down to very reasonable valuations. For example, AMZN's trading at a discount to WMT, which makes no sense. GOOG is trading at 19x earnings. Thinks AAPL growth will be double digit. This is your chance to buy quality companies at reasonable valuations. See his Top Picks.
It is the largest player in the search business and has several other businesses such as YouTube and a self-driving division. In digital advertising it has 30% of a $400 billion market which is continually growing. Its monetization of advertising doesn't get enough credit. It is a big spender on the cloud and AI. It has tons of free cash flow and no debt giving it one of the best balance sheets in the world. It is trading at 20X which is less than the market, is undervalued, and can continue to grow in the double digits for the next several years. Buy 19 Hold 1 Sell 0
(Analysts’ price target is $221.75)It is quite well priced at 21X earnings. It has many divisions and thee is a feeling that the parts are worth more than the whole company trades at. It is spending $75 billion in Capex to support AI and data centres. In the last quarter the growth rate looked to be a little slower than expected. but they have declared that they have more business than they can handle.
Most attractive of the Mag 7 at 21x PE. Have many businesses--YouTube, search, Android, Chrome, Waymo. It's worth more than the current price. Their recent report noted a slowing growth rate, but they have more demand that they can handle. That's why they're investing more in capex, $75 billion into AI and data centres.
Excellent company. Not worried about this weakness. Trades at a reasonable valuation vs. its growth rate. Buy it for the long term. Today, they bought a cybersecurity company and will likely be Trump's first test on anti-trust--watch this.k
