Alphabet Is Quietly Winning The AI War
Alphabet remains a 'Buy' due to strong performance across business segments, especially Google Cloud and YouTube, despite a 20% higher stock price. Google Cloud continues to deliver high growth and profitability, with a growing backlog and robust demand driving increased capital expenditures. YouTube is expanding its market dominance, with strong ad and subscription growth, and successful monetization of new formats like Shorts.

The Web Is Changing: Is Google Changing Fast Enough?
Google Search grows 12% YoY, resilient despite AI-driven zero-click searches rising to 69% and a 22% drop in news site traffic. So, why does GOOGL trade at a discount? I think it's because the company is stuck in "defense" mode. The market wants to see less dependency on Search. Google Cloud (31% YoY growth) and Subscriptions (20% YoY growth) are promising but would need 6.9 years to match Search in size. YouTube grows at the same rates of Search.
