Alphabet rated Strong Buy ahead of Q3'26 earnings on AI and cloud growth prospects.

Alphabet Inc. is rated Strong Buy with a $487 price target due to its leadership in AI and cloud computing. The company's custom silicon, secure cloud, and security tools give it a competitive advantage in enterprise AI adoption. Investors should watch Q3'26 earnings on October 28 for updates on Google Cloud's backlog, margins, and capital use. A margin drop over 110 basis points could pressure shares, but strong AI infrastructure growth supports a partial position now with potential to add later.

Google Inc (GOOG) trades at USD 333.28 on Pluang as of Oct 21, 2026 18:12 WIB, down 0.93% for the day. The stock holds a massive market cap of $4.14 trillion and shows strong investor interest with 68% of Pluang orders to buy. This positions Alphabet well as it prepares for Q3 earnings, where its AI and cloud growth story remains a key focus for investors.
