Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 13 days.
The thesis — published April 1, 2026
Alphabet's core ad business and cloud services are performing steadily, and recent results have been reliable. The stock is near its normal price trend instead of crashing, so a small rebound is plausible. Broad market doubts about AI have lowered immediate expectations, which could make steady company results stand out positively.
Primary drivers
- Search and cloud continue to drive the bulk of revenue and profits
- An upcoming earnings report could change market sentiment quickly
- Lower expectations around AI mean steady results may be viewed more positively
- Large cash reserves help buffer the stock during weak news periods
