Investor buys Alphabet shares despite market worries over rising spending and halted buybacks.

Despite Wall Street concerns about Alphabet's rising capital expenditures and suspended share buybacks, one investor remains optimistic. Alphabet reported strong revenue growth, especially in its cloud business which grew 82% in Q2, and maintains solid financial health with low debt and increasing operating income. The investor believes Alphabet's heavy spending is building future infrastructure for AI and cloud services, expecting continued growth. This contrasts with competitors Microsoft and Meta, which trade at higher multiples but show slower growth or weaker earnings results.

Alphabet (GOOGL) holds a market cap of $4.19 trillion on Pluang as of Sep 28, 2026 21:41 WIB, with a 1-day price change of -0.70%. This compares to Microsoft’s $3.83 trillion and Meta’s $1.91 trillion market caps, where Microsoft and Meta saw steeper 1-day declines of -1.80% and -4.21% respectively. Despite the recent pullback, Alphabet’s typical hold time on Pluang is 84 days, shorter than Microsoft’s 141 days and Meta’s 127 days, indicating relatively quicker trading activity among investors here.
