Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) has received a generally positive consensus from analysts and experts, showcasing its strong revenue growth and robust positions in both AI and cloud services. The company's cloud business, in particular, has demonstrated impressive YOY growth, contributing positively to its revenue streams. Despite these achievements, concerns about rising capital expenditures and recent negative cash flow have led to some caution, with several experts suggesting waiting for a pullback before investing further. Overall, many see GOOG as a strong long-term hold due to its diversified product offerings, including AI capabilities through Gemini and its leadership in search and digital advertising.

TOP PICK

Had a great earnings report but the stock is down to below where it was before this report. Trading at 12-13 times earnings. Very cheap.

BUY

Bottomed out at the height of the antitrust concerns. About 70% of all searches still go through this company. A pretty good trading stock with the month-to-month and week-to-week volatility. Great business model. Has about $100 a share in cash. At 14-15 times earnings is great value for the growth that it exhibits.

DON'T BUY

Have a drop in April of about 8%. Continued dropping. Recovering a bit, but only to the gap that it had in May. Volume is not too bad. Very difficult chart to read because of the wide range. Wait for it to get to about $560.

BUY

Dominates search in America and has developed the most popular operating system for smart phones. Has some long-term threats from things like Facebook and hasn't shown a lot of capability when dealing with the consumer. Expect they will continue to grow the multiple is not expensive.

BUY

Has a lot of potential and will probably earn in the mid-$40 a share up next year. Have over $100 a share of cash on the balance sheet.

COMMENT

Have a pile of cash on their balance sheet so why do they issue bonds when they could just use their cash? About half their cash is offshore and if they bring it back they are taxed. Also, the money they got was only 3.7%.

TOP PICK

Growing very rapidly. Has completely re-written the rules in terms of advertising and advertising models. Revenue growth 27% year over year. Looking for $36 a share in earnings this year and $43 next year. $100 a share in cash. If you strip out the cash you have a multiple of about 12X.

BUY

Still a reasonable price at around 15X next year’s earnings when you back out the $70 a share in cash. Decent quarter. Dominates the search business and is starting to generate revenues out of the other side of their business.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 11/09. Up 8%.) Expect they will earn $21.50 in 2011 so trading at a very low multiple. No debt and lots of cash.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Nov 11/09, Up 6.33%)

TOP PICK

Reported earnings beat estimates by $1 a share. Expects to see earnings estimates going up for 2011. Getting $2.5 billion of annualized revenues out of the non-search display market.

COMMENT

New Century phenomena and the new dominant search engine. Has solid multiples of GDP growth for years to come. A little concerned with its one dimension. Expect they will make $25-$26 a share this year.

COMMENT

Fantastic franchise but they have to spread their tentacles of a lot more and get involved in a lot of different areas such as mobile data and smart phones. Will continue to have higher margins and they'll grow their business but the issue is they are much more under the scope of authorities.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 8/09. Up 51.34%.)

BUY

The new advertising model and is working extremely well. Expecting about $26.50 a share in earnings this year. Taking into account the cash (about $70 a share) it is pretty good value at this time.
