Investment Thesis

Alphabet is the dominant digital advertising platform with Google Search and YouTube, complemented by a rapidly growing Google Cloud business. Operating margins rebounded sharply from 27% (FY2022) to 32% (FY2024) driven by efficiency improvements and AI monetization.

Bull Case

  • +Google Cloud reaching profitability inflection with 25%+ growth
  • +AI integration strengthening Search moat and monetization
  • +YouTube advertising and subscription revenue growing 15%+
  • +Waymo autonomous driving optionality
  • +Share buybacks accelerating ($70B+ program)

Bear Case

  • -AI search disruption from ChatGPT/Perplexity/Apple
  • -Antitrust remedies could force structural changes
  • -Massive AI CapEx ($50B+) may not generate adequate returns
  • -Advertising cyclicality in economic downturn
  • -Cloud competition from AWS and Azure intensifying

Key Catalysts

  • Google Cloud growth trajectory and margin expansion
  • Gemini AI model adoption and developer ecosystem
  • Antitrust trial outcomes and remedies
  • YouTube monetization improvements
  • CapEx normalization timeline
