Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 62 days.
The thesis — published February 27, 2026
Alphabet may bounce in the next few months because attention on AI infrastructure keeps growing. Two news items on Feb 27 make that clear: Meta leasing Google TPUs shows real demand for Google Cloud's AI tools, and South Korea allowing more detailed map exports removes a long-standing obstacle. The stock is below recent highs, so a rebound is possible, but AI spending worries and regulatory stories can still cause big swings.
