Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Came within reach: 97% of the predicted growth at its peak, just short of the target.
The thesis — published July 28, 2026
Alphabet combines fast growth, strong profits, and a large cash balance with a reasonable price for a very large tech company. The stock has fallen below its short-term trend, but many more people are selling than usual, so a clear price stabilisation is needed. Reports that Reddit may stop a data license add risk to AI-related data and referrals.
Primary drivers
- Search, YouTube and cloud continue to grow revenue streams
- Strong profit margins and plenty of cash on the balance sheet
- Price looks reasonable for a very large tech platform
- Uncertainty around Reddit licensing could hurt AI data and referrals
Prices are shown split- and dividend-adjusted, matching what public charts show today.
