Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 48% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published December 5, 2025
Alphabet is a solid core holding because it leads in AI tools and still earns a lot from online ads and YouTube. Recent AI progress and a higher analyst target imply better competitive standing. Price action and strong trading volume suggest steady buying interest, though regulation and large-cap competition could limit upside.
Primary drivers
- Gemini improvements strengthen Alphabet's AI offerings
- Strong buying interest and rising price trend support the setup
- Analyst target increase to $400 reflects higher expectations
- Ongoing regulation and privacy issues can create volatility
