Alphabet remains a Buy with strong growth and 42%+ upside by 2028 despite recent cash flow dips.

Alphabet Inc. is rated a Buy due to strong long-term earnings potential driven by business verticalization and faster backlog conversion. Although recent capital expenditures have reduced free cash flow, the company is expected to achieve high returns on invested capital from Google Cloud Platform and Tensor Processing Units, with payback under two years. Key growth drivers include TPU commercialization, competitive pricing of Gemini 4 Argon chips, and multi-product lock-in effects in Google Cloud. The stock is reasonably valued on 2028 forecasts, with over 42% upside potential in two years, supporting a bullish outlook ahead of Q3 earnings.

Following the optimistic outlook on Alphabet's long-term growth, the stock trades at USD 339.20 on Pluang as of Oct 20, 2026, 19:41 WIB, slightly down by 0.28% for the day. The market cap stands at $4.19 trillion, with investors holding the stock for an average of 138 days. Buy orders currently make up 58% of Pluang activity, indicating moderate investor interest despite the small daily dip.
