Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 31 days.
The thesis — published September 29, 2025
Alphabet's recent drop looks overdone, and steady buying interest plus a generally positive mood suggest the price can recover. Several research firms point to $300-$325, and confidence in AI-powered ads and search adds to the case. Over the next 3 months, the plan is to add on dips and aim for a move back toward earlier highs. Risks remain: possible regulator actions and rich market pricing, so use clear exits and careful position size.
Primary drivers
- Sharp drop, but buying interest is improving
- AI makes ads and search work better
- Experts think the price has room to rise
- Very large company with deep trading activity
