Alphabet's AI-driven YouTube and Search growth accelerates despite doubled spending and buyback pause

Alphabet has doubled its capital spending and paused stock buybacks, yet its AI integration in YouTube and Search continues to drive strong revenue growth. YouTube's multimodal content and AI-powered Search features contributed to a 24.2% revenue increase in Q2, with Google Cloud growing 82%. Despite rising debt and negative free cash flow due to heavy investment, operating cash flow rose 40.8%, supporting long-term growth. Investors should watch upcoming earnings for Cloud margins and Search expansion as Alphabet's AI flywheel strengthens its competitive edge.

Alphabet shares are trading at USD 320.85 on Pluang, up 1.28% as of Oct 28, 2026 00:02 WIB. The stock shows strong investor interest with 91% of orders to buy and a market cap of $3.86 trillion. Typical holding time on Pluang is 87 days, reflecting confidence in its long-term growth potential.
