Alphabet Inc (GOOG)
Alphabet: This Time It's Different
Alphabet Inc. earns a Strong Buy rating as its turnaround is complete and the market underappreciates its transformation. GOOGL's cloud backlog surged to $462.3B, with over $230B expected to materialize by mid-2028, supporting high-margin, recurring revenue growth. Alphabet's entry into silicon sales, targeting 10% of Nvidia's revenue, and major deals with Anthropic and Meta signal a new high-value business line.
Alphabet: $80 Billion Positive Signal
Alphabet Inc. executed an $80B equity raise, including a $10B Berkshire investment, to fund aggressive AI-driven capex. GOOG plans $185B in 2026 capex, with pro-forma cash of $207B and robust free cash flow supporting continued AI infrastructure investment. Google Cloud's explosive 63% revenue growth, fueled by Gemini AI and a $200B Anthropic commitment, justifies further capital deployment.

Nvidia offers a compelling opportunity with reasonable valuations relative to sector peers and remains central to hyperscaler CapEx.

In under nine months, Greg Abel has committed ~$27B to Alphabet, mirroring the Apple playbook but at twice the speed and with a private equity-style deal structure. This is not dilution — it is the first "AI IPO", and Berkshire just got the anchor allocation at a price retail investors could not access.
