Alphabet is evolving from benefiting from AI to owning AI infrastructure, particularly through its TPU strategy, which improves control over scaling costs. Its cloud revenue grew 63% year-over-year with a $460 billion backlog, indicating strong demand but potential risks if backlog conversion slows. The company plans capital expenditures of $180–190 billion, showing a long-term AI infrastructure commitment, though this could pressure margins if revenue growth weakens. Despite these risks, the current valuation reflects confidence in sustained growth and AI monetization potential, supporting a buy rating.
