The thesis — published July 13, 2025
Alphabet is a key player in the race to use artificial intelligence. After running up 15% in June, the stock has caught its breath. Buying interest remains heavy, yet the price looks a little overheated for the moment. A slip to $177-181 could give beginners a calmer entry before the July 23 earnings call, when stronger cloud profits are expected. High investor excitement and huge cash reserves suggest roughly 20% upside in the next quarter.
Primary drivers
- Very positive mood and strong price speed are pushing big AI names higher.
- More buyers than usual suggest the upward trend can keep going.
- July 23 results should show fatter cloud profits and new money from Gemini AI.
- Huge cash pile and share buybacks help the firm handle trade or economic shocks.
