What happened
Reached its target in 54 days.
The thesis — published November 20, 2025
Alphabet's stock has been climbing, and the overall market tone helps. Buying on dips near the recent average price can offer better value. The company generates steady cash from ads, YouTube, and a cloud business that is getting more profitable. We are watching any borrowing to fund AI spending, but near term these strengths and more stocks moving up suggest the next few months can stay positive even if one momentum gauge is slow.
Primary drivers
- Price trend is strong, with more buying than usual pushing shares higher
- Solid cash from ads, Cloud, and YouTube supports steady, durable growth
- Keep an eye on AI spending funded by borrowing, which could add risk
- Buy the dips while more stocks across the market are moving up
