The thesis — published September 6, 2025
Alphabet is pushing hard in AI and keeping strong progress. More buyers than usual and a strong recent average price show interest, with attention on Google Cloud and its full AI stack. There is new talk of an EU fine and tariff risks, but a $10M grant to train electricians points to more data centers. Pullbacks over the next 3 months can be good entry points. Focus stays on steady execution despite noise.

- Faster Google Cloud sales back up the company's big push into AI
- More buyers than usual, with heavy trading, signal rising interest
- Possible EU fines remain a risk, but the business keeps delivering
