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.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

You will probably see them shifting more into digital advertising. They have some spending on other opportunities, which he would like to see more disclosure on. The issue today is anti-trust gaining traction in the US. Technically, the stock is consolidating and he believes in management. He would buy this on a dip for the next 12 months.

TOP PICK

The market is over-thinking Google. Anti-trust worries have been priced in already. Revenues will grow nearly 20% annually in coming years and they have a ton of cash in the bank. Internet advertising remains unstoppable. Even if the US courts break up the company, there will be more value in the pasts of Google, like self-driving cars. (Analysts’ price target is $1321.89)

BUY

Bought at $1155, now what? He holds this himself. It is in the sights of the government for security issues. Being big can sometimes put a target on you. Is it bad that a big company creates the best search engine? The long term outlook is very bright with many upcoming initiatives that will contribute to the bottom line. Autonomous driving and other new technology will become mainstream in the next 5-10 years. He would continue to hold it and add to current positions.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

One of the largest companies in the world, but there is a political head wind they are facing. Longer term, he believes the ad revenues will grow and this is a world leader in the space. He would look for a pull back to enter into a new holding.

HOLD

A tremendous holding since their IPO. Now, there's a lot of scrutiny in the tech space as the US government investigates the tech giants to clean up YouTube searches. This is a slight caution, but at the end of the day advertisers won't abandon YouTube. Hold.

TOP PICK

Buy on pullbacks. His model price is $861. Everyone is talking about anti-trusts, but anti-trusts take decades to process (IBM, Microsoft, AT&T). He'd like to see this at $1,000 to buy, but the current price is off its $1,300 highs. (Analysts’ price target is $1325.44)

HOLD

Anti-trust concerns? This is in his Top 5 companies. It has ad revenues, YouTube, and autonomous driving opportunities. If the company was broken up into the three units, it would not be that big of a disruption. They made $175 billion from ad revenues last year. He thinks the anti-trust issues will lead to greater regulation, but not force them to break it up.

TOP PICK

The pending announcement of a potential investigation creates an interesting entry point. There is still a lot of growth opportunity. It make take years on the regulatory front. With over $100 billion in cash, the equivalent of $150 per share, they will be able to weather any storm. Yield 0%. (Analysts’ price target is $1325.44)

PARTIAL SELL

Driverless cars will face an accident then a lawsuit. A risk. The biggest issue is anti-trust, with the US government threatening to break-up the tech giants, because they are monopolizing competition. It could happen; there are precedents. Doesn't hurt to take a bit of of money off the table now, but hold the rest.

BUY

He really likes it and bought more today. It's become a consumer staple for everyone--we all use it to search and for maps. Millions use Youtube. Self-driving cars looks interesting. If the US courts break up the courts, he can make money in the break-up value, but he doubts a break-up will happen. We have to see where these government probes about anti-trust will go. An investigation won't necessarily lead to a break-up. Rather, tech companies like Google may be forced to change a way it operates in a specific, narrow way. The threats have been overblown.

HOLD

You need to be in it for the long term. He would be holding it right now. You see all the advertisements on Google. Their cloud platform is not as strong as the other two, however. They have exposure to self driving cars and some healthcare exposure.

COMMENT

Pending investigation? The likely regulation of privacy concerns is impacting this space, led by Facebook. This has been coming for a while and it may likely continue to dog these stocks, especially if this becomes politicized. If President Trump decides to make an issue of this, it could become real trouble. He would back away if this is the direction things go. Be very careful. He loves the company and they are doing things correctly. It is just not clear to him if this is the time to reenter.

PARTIAL SELL

If you own it, definitely take money off. The US has a way of breaking up anything that has more power than the government. After the .com bubble burst, that was the time to find the Googles of the world.

TOP PICK

He likes the massive research spending. They are very secretive on what they spend money on, but we have heard of other bets. They are in very diverse areas. It is not expensive. He is looking at $54 in growth this year. They are growing near 20% per year. (Analysts’ price target is $1333.74)

WAIT

It is a fine company. It is on his watch list. He does not own it because of his concern with regulatory issues. They have so much share of search that it attracts the attention of regulators. He anticipates the separation of YouTube from Google Search and that would not be good. Wait for some clarity from regulators.
