Artificial intelligence remains the defining investment theme of this cycle, and few developments reinforce that view more clearly than the latest spending plans from Amazon ( AMZN ) and Alphabet ( GOOGL ).

Over a transformative year from February 2025 to 2026, Alphabet (GOOGL)'s stock jumped 74%, driven by strong revenue growth, improved margins, and rising investor confidence.

There has been a lot of hysteria and media attention over the midpoint of Alphabet Inc., aka Google's 2026 cap-ex guidance: $180 billion. A big number and a surprise? Yes. Irrational? Definitely not. Much less attention was paid to what matters: GOOGL's very strong Q4 report, particularly Google Search (+17% yoy) and Google Cloud (+48% yoy), and GC's $240 billion backlog (+55% sequentially). In my opinion, in its entirety, Google is the global AI leader because it has the biggest and most diversified wide-moat platform on which to monetize AI.
