Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 3% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published May 29, 2026
Alphabet offers large-scale exposure to artificial intelligence while staying diversified across search, YouTube, and cloud. A new Google-Blackstone compute deal creates a clear, practical boost for the cloud business by adding processing capacity. Profit from search and YouTube helps the company stay stable. Short-term strength is unclear and headlines or regulation could slow momentum.
Primary drivers
- Google-Blackstone compute deal creates a clear cloud catalyst
- More TPU capacity improves the company's cloud strength
- Search and YouTube continue to generate steady cash
- Current price action presents a calmer, measured setup
