Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 32% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published June 9, 2026
Alphabet runs search, video, cloud, ads, and AI tools that keep making money and winning users. Recent news about Gemini shows more people using its AI, which helps the product story. Shares have pulled back into a cheaper area, but short-term buying strength is mixed. Solid profits and lots of cash make the company more resilient if interest in AI becomes more selective.
Primary drivers
- More people using Gemini helps the AI adoption story
- Search, YouTube, and cloud keep generating steady cash
- Strong recent results show healthy business execution
- Price pullback creates a calmer short-term entry opportunity
