Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 27 days.
The thesis — published October 24, 2025
Earnings arrive next week, making this an important moment for Alphabet. Investors want proof that Google can turn its AI work into real money. Reports say Google may provide Anthropic with up to one million custom AI chips, strengthening Google Cloud and its hardware story. If interest rates are cut soon, big tech often benefits. If results and AI plans land well, the stock could push to new recent highs; if not, it may slip.
Primary drivers
- Earnings next week could reshape views on growth and profit health
- Supplying many AI chips to Anthropic would strengthen Google Cloud
- An expected rate cut can lift valuations for large, steady tech
- Short-term price momentum looks better, drawing more investor interest
