Google's stock has surged over 106% since June 2025 and is now projected to climb an additional 30.74% by summer 2027, according to TD Cowen analyst John Blackledge. The bullish outlook is driven by expectations of a tenfold increase in Google's cloud AI capacity between 2022 and 2031, supporting rising enterprise and consumer demand. TD Cowen also forecasts steady improvement in Google's cloud profit margins, prompting an increase in the 12-month price target from $450 to $475. This target is higher than the Wall Street consensus, which expects a 14.98% rise to $427.46 by mid-2027. Overall, analysts overwhelmingly rate Google as a 'Strong Buy,' reflecting confidence in the company's growth prospects despite a recent 7.7% stock dip since May.
