Alphabet Inc. Class A (GOOGL) — closed signal from July 9, 2025
Target reached Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on October 7, 2025.
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.
