Phillip Securities has upgraded its rating on Alphabet, Google's parent company, from 'Accumulate' to 'Buy' and raised the 12-month price target from $425 to $450. This upgrade follows strong revenue growth reported in Alphabet's recent quarterly filing and optimism about the company's expanding artificial intelligence ecosystem.
