Alphabet is initiated with a Buy rating and a price target of $432, suggesting a 26% upside. This optimism is fueled by accelerating momentum in its Search business, AI-powered Gemini projects, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The company’s $200 billion capital expenditure is expected to generate over 20% return on invested capital (ROIC), with significant earnings leverage as AI investments begin to monetize in the coming years.
