Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 47 days.
The thesis — published July 9, 2025
Alphabet's Gemini AI is moving onto Galaxy smartwatches, opening a new way to make money through device partnerships. Trading data show many more buyers than sellers, and on July 9 large institutions loaded up on call options, signalling they expect higher prices. A new browser from OpenAI could steal some attention, yet overall demand looks strong. We think shares can work gradually up to about $195 by October, so we favor starting positions now and adding on dips while watching headlines closely.
Primary drivers
- Gemini AI on smartwatches could open a new stream of device-driven sales.
- Strong buying signals point to a faster upward trend in the share price.
- Large investors bought lots of call options on Jul 9, hinting at optimism.
- OpenAI building a browser adds competition and trims enthusiasm slightly.
