Company Report

We Don't Expect Alphabet's Recent Missteps Will Derail Its Long-Term Potential

Alphabet dominates the online search market with 90%-plus global share (80%-plus US share) for Google, and the business generates very strong cash flow. We expect continuing search growth as we remain confident that Google will maintain its leadership despite Microsoft's move to include generative artificial intelligence in Bing and Google's recent AI missteps. We also foresee YouTube and cloud contributing more to the firm’s top and bottom lines.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

As the number of online users and usage increase, so will digital ad spending, of which Google will remain one of the main beneficiaries.

Bears

There is little revenue diversification within Alphabet, as it remains heavily dependent on Google and search advertising.

Company Profile

Alphabet is a holding company. Internet media giant Google is a wholly owned subsidiary. Google services account for nearly 90% of Alphabet's revenue, of which more than 85% is from online ads. Other Google services revenue is from sales of apps and content on Google Play and YouTube, as well as sales of hardware such as Chromebooks, the Pixel smartphone, and smart home products, which include Nest and Google Home. Google's cloud computing offerings account for a bit more than 10% of total Alphabet revenue. Alphabet’s moonshot investments are in its other bets segment, where it bets on technology to enhance health (Verily), provide faster internet access (Google Fiber), enable self-driving cars (Waymo), and more.
