I've long touted Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) as one of the top Magnificent 7 tech stocks I think is worth buying and holding for the long-term.
Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG), Google's parent company, may be sitting on an almost $1 trillion opportunity with its AI chips, according to Gil Luria, head of technology research at DA Davidson. Luria estimates that if Alphabet expands external sales of its tensor processing units (TPUs), the business could capture roughly 20% of the AI market, valuing it at about $900 billion.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been the biggest growth driver of the stock market in 2025.
Alphabet Inc.'s valuation looks high, but the catalysts suggest shares remain undervalued. Google Cloud's AI-driven backlog signals accelerating multi-year revenue growth for GOOGL. TPUs could evolve into a major new hardware revenue stream.
It's the trillion-dollar question that many investors have surely been pondering in the past few weeks.
Alphabet Inc. stock has surged 84% in a year, moving from undervalued to fairly valued territory after resolving antitrust overhangs. GOOGL's valuation now exceeds peers like Nvidia, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, and Amazon, making further aggressive capital allocation less compelling. Despite strong Q3 results—16% YoY revenue growth, 33% net income growth, and standout Google Cloud performance—the easy money in GOOGL stock has been made.
Wikipedia is working with Big Tech on deals similar to its arrangement with Google, the online encyclopedia's co-founder, Jimmy Wales, said on Wednesday, in a bid to help the firm monetize AI companies' heavy reliance on its content.
Alphabet has emerged as an AI leader, with Gemini 3 exceeding expectations and driving renewed investor enthusiasm. GOOGL posted accelerating revenue growth—16% YoY overall, 15% YoY in Search, and 34% YoY in Cloud, with expanding margins. Heavy AI-driven capital expenditures are supported by a robust net cash balance sheet, while monetization of AI Overviews matches legacy search rates.
Alphabet is emerging as the true ChatGPT Killer by embedding Gemini directly into the daily workflow of billions of users, making standalone chatbots less essential. Furthermore, its TPU based infrastructure delivers major cost and efficiency gains, giving it a structural edge over GPU dependent competitors. The core or legacy businesses continue to accelerate, with Search, YouTube and Cloud all showing robust double digit growth and expanding margins.
While skeptics call for an AI bubble, the data suggests the opposite: we are only in the early innings. With supportive macro conditions, expanding real-world adoption, and valuations far from dot-com extremes, the AI trade still offers meaningful upside.
The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and cloud services has led to a massive demand for computing power. The surge has strained data infrastructure, which requires lots of electricity to operate.
