Google reported strong revenue growth with a 24.2% increase to $119.80B and an 82% rise in Google Cloud revenue to $24.77B. However, heavy AI-related capital spending doubled capex to $44.92B, causing free cash flow to drop to -$5.86B and long-term debt to rise significantly. Despite these challenges, Wall Street analysts remain optimistic, with a consensus price target of $420.36, implying over 20% upside. For Google to reach $500 by 2029, it needs successful cloud backlog conversion, continued AI innovation with Gemini 4, and a return to positive free cash flow. The stock trades at about 22 times forward earnings, reflecting reasonable valuation amid strong growth prospects.
