Alphabet has lost about $860 billion in market value since its peak, largely due to heavy AI-related capital spending, while Apple has avoided heavy AI spending and is near its all-time highs. Alphabet's market value is $4.21 trillion compared to Apple's $4.95 trillion. Alphabet's aggressive AI investments have led to slower recent gains and increased debt, whereas Apple maintains steady growth, strong cash flow, and shareholder returns. For conservative retirement investors, Apple is currently the better fit due to its financial stability and lower risk, while Alphabet suits those with a longer investment horizon willing to weather volatility for potential AI-driven gains.
