Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 45% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published December 7, 2025
Alphabet is a big, stable tech company that benefits from search, YouTube, advertising, cloud services and growing AI infrastructure. A reported deal where Apple pays about $1 billion a year to use Gemini for Siri creates a steady new revenue stream. Market excitement is faster than the underlying results, but steady cash generation and a clear upward trend make buying small pullbacks reasonable for potential gains over three months.
Primary drivers
- Apple Gemini deal adds steady, high-margin revenue and expands mobile AI reach.
- Search, YouTube and cloud together provide steady sales and cashflow.
- Healthy chart patterns and strong trading activity point to a steady uptrend.
- Money moving away from OpenAI-linked names has helped Alphabet-led groups in 2025.
