An analyst favors Microsoft over Alphabet for a long-term retirement investment in AI giants despite Alphabet's 40% stock gain and cheaper valuation. Microsoft leads in cloud revenue backlog, cash flow, shareholder returns, and regulatory resilience. Alphabet's growth is faster but faces regulatory challenges and negative free cash flow, while Microsoft maintains strong margins and dividend yield. The durability of Microsoft's business model and diversified revenue make it a safer choice for investors seeking stability over decades.
Microsoft shares trade at USD 530.00 with a 0.92% gain on Pluang, while Alphabet is priced at USD 348.03, up 0.45%.

As of Oct 06, 2026 19:11 WIB, Microsoft sees more selling activity at 69% compared to Alphabet’s 27%, indicating differing investor sentiment on the platform.
