Alphabet's stock dip, despite beating earnings expectations, presents a potential buying opportunity.
However, a note of caution emerges from YouTube advertising. While still experiencing a healthy 13% year-on-year growth, it fell short of analyst expectations, reaching $8.66 billion compared to the predicted $8.93 billion. CEO Sundar Pichai emphasized that the risk of underinvestment is greater than the risk of overinvestment, with plans to invest at least $12 billion per quarter until the end of 2025, even if it affects profit margins.The market’s reaction may be a brief pause in a stock that has risen over 30 percent since the beginning of the year. Investors are weighing whether this dip represents a temporary adjustment or a potential opportunity for continued gains.
Most analysts covering Alphabet echo this positive sentiment, suggesting that the current dip offers a strategic entry point for investors. This target could rise further if the current pre-market decline persists. Notably, RBC Capital and UBS have recently raised their price targets for the stock from $200 to $204 per share, citing Alphabet’s leadership in AI and its strong performance in key growth areas.
