Analyst Says Alphabet (GOOG) Trading at ‘Huge Discount' – Believes It Can ‘Absolutely' Compete with ChatGPT
Ted Thatcher, president of Bright Lake Wealth Management, explained in a recent program on Schwab Network why he is bullish on Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) and mentioned some of the key growth catalysts for the stock: "At least from a price to earnings ratio, you know, Google's trading around 18 times earnings. If you look at that compared to the other mega caps, it's like at a huge discount. And I understand we've had these concerns about whether Gemini versus Chat GPT usage is competitive or not. But we have to remember, you know, look at Google's revenue. Look at what happened out of their earnings calls. Even their blue link search revenue was up 10%. And then you look at Google more broadly, they have 270 million users, paid subscribers, between their YouTube platform and their Google One platforms. And so when you look at that level of user control that Google has and then you pair that with everything that they just announced at I/O with all these essentially AI apps, some of them authentic, some of them are AI mode with Google Search, you know, I think Google is going to be able to absolutely cram down Gemini through those users' throats, essentially, and absolutely compete with the Chat GPT user growth." Alphabet posted strong quarterly results, but the market remains reluctant about the stock amid threats to its search business due to the onslaught of AI tools like ChatGPT. However, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) bulls believe these concerns are overstated. Google has an edge over competitors because it's easier for the billions of users of its search engine to switch to Gemini instead of opting for a completely new model. Google has over 1.5 billion monthly users interacting with its AI-powered Search overviews. OpenAI, Alphabet's biggest competitor now when it comes to AI search, has less than 5% of its users paying, and its business model is still developing. Google's first-quarter results showed continued strength in its cloud unit, with revenue up 28% year over year and solid operating income growth. This supports Google's broader AI strategy and underscores the scale advantages of its cloud business. RiverPark Large Growth Fund stated the following regarding Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) in its Q1 2025 investor letter: 'Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) shares declined in the first quarter despite solid business fundamentals. Investors reacted negatively to the company's AI product rollout relative to peers, expressing concern about potential market share loss in core search and cloud segments. Nevertheless, Alphabet continues to deliver strong cash flow from its dominant search and YouTube platforms while investing aggressively in its next-generation AI and cloud infrastructure. Trading at a valuation discount to many of its peers, we view Alphabet as a core holding with compelling upside as monetization of its newer initiatives accelerates.' READ NEXT: and .

Google debuts interactive charts in AI Mode to help make you a finance whiz
TL;DR Google has started testing a new AI Mode feature that generates interactive graphs for finance queries. The feature makes it easy to compare and analyze information over time. Interactive graphs in AI Mode are currently available as a Search Labs experiment. Google debuted Search's AI Mode as a Labs experiment to select users earlier this year. At I/O, the company expanded availability to all US users, added Deep Search and Project Astra capabilities to the feature, and previewed some upcoming features, including AI Mode's ability to generate interactive graphics for complex datasets. Google has now started testing this feature for finance-related queries. Google announced the new feature in a recent blog post, highlighting how AI Mode can help users compare and analyze financial information over a specific period with a custom-made interactive graph based on their query. As illustrated in the following clip, when asked to 'compare the stock performance of blue chip CPG companies in 2024,' AI Mode generates a stock price comparison graph and a table that dynamically updates the stock prices when you interact with the graph. Users can also ask follow-up questions to get additional information or refine their queries. Google says the feature uses 'advanced models to understand the intent of the question, tap into real-time and historical information and intelligently determine how to present information to help you make sense of it.' At the moment, the feature only works for finance queries related to stocks and mutual funds. However, Google will expand support for other topics in the future. If you wish to try it out, you can enable the experiment in Search Labs, but note that it's only available in the US. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

WHSmith pricing 'should be illegal' after customer charged £4.19 for a Pepsi
WHSmith pricing "should be illegal", according to shocked customers. Welsh snooker legend Mark Williams recently posted a picture of a checkout screen in WHSmith, where it showed a 500ml bottle of Pepsi Max costing £4.19. Williams was at Heathrow Airport at the time. Airports across the country are slightly notorious for charging inflated prices. At the time of writing, a 500ml bottle of Pepsi Max from Tesco costs £1.59. Customers subsequently blasted the store. WHSmith pricing should be illegal in general, no clue how they get away with it — Sel (@SA1903_) June 4, 2025 One said: "WHSmith literally sold off their entire High Street business but kept travel hub shops for this very reason. It's like printing money and they don't care about the customers." Another commented: "Smiths are proper cosy cosy with all the airports, word is they mark up their prices by 50% and go halters with the airport the shops located in". Someone else replied: "I paid that in Liverpool airport a couple of weeks ago, couldn't believe my eyes". Another said: "WHSmith pricing should be illegal in general, no clue how they get away with it". Some, however, defended the pricing.

To which he responded: "Expensive in other WHSmith stores too hence why I said general". Airports tend to be expensive due to a combination of factors, including high operational costs, the captive audience they serve, and the unique challenges of operating within a confined space. These costs are then reflected in higher prices for food, beverages, retail goods, and services within the airport, as well as in airline ticket prices, which often include airport fees.
