Alphabet has surged 109% in the past year, fueled by strong AI leadership and accelerating Cloud growth, with recent quarterly revenue hitting $109.9 billion, up 21.8%. The company’s Cloud segment grew 63% and holds a $460 billion backlog, providing long-term revenue visibility. Despite a recent equity offering causing a brief dip, analysts see a 20% upside to $445.38 over the next year, supported by solid Search business performance and a reasonable forward P/E of 26. Risks include high capital expenditure, regulatory fines, and AI competition, but strong Cloud and Search growth underpin a bullish outlook with potential to reach $515 if momentum continues.
