Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) is recognized as a leading player in the tech industry, especially in the realms of cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI). Experts highlight the company's strong financial performance, with significant revenue growth, particularly in its cloud segment, which has seen an impressive year-over-year increase. The introduction of its Gemini AI models has further bolstered Google's search capabilities, easing prior concerns about AI overshadowing its core business. Despite muted trading metrics and high valuations, many analysts remain bullish about GOOG's long-term prospects, citing its unparalleled data, cash flow strength, and diverse revenue streams including YouTube and Waymo. The general sentiment leans towards a wait-and-see approach, considering potential market corrections before making further investments.

Warren Buffet has 43% of his portfolio in APPL. APPL is a wonderful brand and strong company. He does not own it today. What worries him a little is that more than half of their revenues come from iPhone sales. They are diversifying, but it will take time. People are tending to keep their phones a year or two longer today it seems. The valuation has made it quite expensive. He would wait for a pullback or consider V, GOOG or MSFT. Warren Buffet must have some amazing incite to take on that concentration in the portfolio.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 11/19, Up 35%) She continues to hold it. Tech stocks have been leading the rally. She would not put new capital in at these valuation levels. Wait for a pullback. It has $162 per share of cash, which implies a price of 25 times 2021 earnings -- reasonable, but not cheap.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 30/19, Up 28%) He continues to like it. The company dominates the market. It is not trading at massive market multiple. It has a sizable growth outlook, so it warrants the premium. They are monetizing investments of the past.

TOP PICK

Still green shoot opportunities. It has been a vital service in how we manage our lives. Bottom line, it has 25% earnings growth and trades at 35 times earnings. On a price to growth it is very compelling. People assume it has run away from them, but he feels it is still going higher. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $1506.67)

WATCH

It has not been a value stock by any means. With the economic slowdown and its big advertising component then it could be an opportunity in the future. It will retain its dominance in online advertising.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 14/19, Up 27%) He would buy it again here. It is now above his model price to buy at this time. It has monopoly type earnings. With interest rates staying near zero, it should continue to see increases in their valuation.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 17/19, Up 9%) Always a Top Pick for him. Even during these uncertain times there Q1 performance is still great. His target is $1555. They just reported search activity is up hugely and they have massive increase in cloud services (up over 50%). Ad revenues are down a bit, but will great again when things get turned back on. He would buy on weakness down at $1200 and then $1100.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He follows it. Has never owned this. They have a wide moat, dominating live internet searches. Q1 results are benign (and Google has weathered this storm), but the next two quarters may be disappointing because advertising will decline. If you own this, hold on. If not, but when Q2 and Q3 results come out; Google stocks should decline then.

BUY

He likes it and started buying it. How is advertising to impact Google? They say very little. He expects revenue growth this quarter. He looks to see them improving their capital allocation.

COMMENT

He does not own FB. He prefers GOOG, which has a stronger financial position and has a better advertising revenue model. Online advertising cuts will impact both of these companies, however. He thinks GOOG will remain profitable going forward.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 02/19, Up 7%) He liked it when it was depressed following the regulatory resistance it was facing. It trades at 20 times 2021 earnings. It will get through this crisis and their growth will accelerate afterwards. You could still continue to buy.

WATCH

The shorter term risk is the on-line advertising market which will get hit with the economic slowdown. He thinks it is a great story longer term.

WATCH

He's moved to the sidelines on Google, because ads are their primary revenues. In every recession, ad revenues fall hard. He owns Amazon, which already earns ad revenues. It's early to get exposure to advertising, because ad budgets may get cut in the near term. But if this is a short recession that'll end in the summer, then the market may be looking past the recession already.

COMMENT

GOOG vs MSFT? The challenge with GOOG is that 40-50% ad spend comes from small businesses. He expects small business will be struggling for revenue for the next few months. He would not be a buyer of GOOG. He does not own MSFT, but would prefer them over GOOG. MSFT has a very successful cloud service and he sees Teams being a good add to their revenue right now.

COMMENT

Holding cash, now what? It is difficult not knowing what the investor's needs are. You really should partner with a professional. Consider taking a wider portfolio approach. Longer term, he likes FB and GOOG. A sector that will benefit over the next decade.
