Alphabet Rises 11% in a Month: Buy, Sell or Hold the GOOGL Stock?
Alphabet GOOGL shares have appreciated 11.3% in the past month, outperforming the broader Zacks Computer & Technology sector's appreciation of 3.8%. The outperformance can be attributed to Alphabet's strong second-quarter 2025 results that revealed the benefits of AI infusion across its Search business and a surge in Google Cloud revenues. In the second quarter of 2025, Google Search and other revenues increased 11.7% year over year to $54.19 billion, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.04% and accounting for 56.2% of total revenues. Overall queries and commercial queries on Search continued to grow year over year in the reported quarter. Google continues to dominate the Search business, handling over 5 trillion queries annually, per Semrush. The company has been actively embedding AI, especially within Search, to enhance user experience, provide better AI-focused features and consequently improve ad performance. Google accounts for 89.66% market share, followed by Microsoft' s MSFT Bing, with 3.88% share. Google Cloud revenues surged 31.7% year over year to $13.62 billion and accounted for 14.1% of the quarter's total revenues. The figure beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.24%. The year-over-year growth was driven by growth in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) across core GCP products, AI Infrastructure, and Generative AI Solutions. Google Cloud's annual revenue run rate is now more than $50 billion. The strong growth in Search and Google Cloud has helped Alphabet shares outperform its closest peers in the cloud computing domain, Microsoft and Amazon. According to Synergy Research Group data, Amazon 's AMZN cloud arm, Amazon Web Services, continues to lead with a 30% market share in the second quarter of 2025, while Alphabet and Microsoft had 20% and 13% market share, respectively. GOOGL Stock's Performance AI Push to Boost GOOGL's Prospects Alphabet is advancing visual and contextual search capabilities. The Circle to Search feature is now active on more than 300 million devices. The company is adding functionalities to help people explore complex topics and ask follow-up questions without switching apps. For instance, gamers can now use Circle to Search while playing mobile games to see an AI Overview or answers. AI Overviews now reach more than 2 billion users per month and are available in over 200 countries across 40 languages. It is now driving over 10% more queries globally. Powered by Gemini 2.5, AI Overviews currently delivers the fastest AI responses in the industry. The combination of lens or Circle to Search, together with AI Overviews, is driving multimodal search usage. Google's AI-powered Search features are driving deeper engagement, with AI Mode offering advanced reasoning and multimodal responses. Users are generating queries twice as long as those in traditional searches. The launch of AI Mode in the United States and India — where it currently has more than 100 million monthly active users — is expected to drive further growth. Google Cloud is benefiting from its partnership with the likes of NVIDIA and PayPal PYPL. Google Cloud was the first cloud provider to offer NVIDIA's B200 and GB200 Blackwell GPUs and will be offering its next-generation Vera Rubin GPUs. PayPal will expand its Google Cloud adoption for AI-driven recommendations, transaction processing and enhanced security. The partnership expands the availability and functionality of PayPal's payment services and capabilities across a range of Google products. Google Cloud's expanding clientele is expected to boost Alphabet's top line. In the second quarter of 2025, the number of deals was over $250 million, doubling year over year, and the number of new GCP customers increased by nearly 28% sequentially. Earnings Estimate Revisions Show Upward Trend for GOOGL The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter 2025 earnings is pegged at $2.32 per share, up 6.4% over the past 30 days, indicating 9.43% year-over-year growth. The consensus mark for 2025 earnings is pegged at $9.94 per share, up 4% over the past 30 days, suggesting 23.6% over 2024's reported figure. Here's Why Investors Should Hold GOOGL Stock Now Alphabet's growing AI capabilities and significant investments in cloud computing bode well for long-term investors. So, investors who have already invested in GOOGL stock should continue to hold it. However, the Value Score of C suggests a stretched valuation for Alphabet at this moment. Alphabet stock is trading at a premium, with a forward 12-month Price/Sales of 6.64X compared with the Zacks Internet Services industry's 5.38X and Amazon's 3.18X. However, GOOGL stock is cheaper than Microsoft's 12X. Price/Sales Ratio (F12M) Regulatory headwinds like the lawsuit between the Department of Justice (DOJ) and GOOGL over Google Search are a concern. The DOJ argues that Google has inked anticompetitive deals with Apple and other companies for prime placement of its search engine and plans to break up Google to separate products like Chrome, Search and Android. DOJ's proposal doesn't bode well for Alphabet, given growing competition from AI-powered products like ChatGPT, Grok, DeepSeek, Perplexity and Meta AI. GOOGL is suffering from a lack of capacity, and until new capacity comes online this year, cloud revenues are expected to witness increased variability. The company expects to invest roughly $85 billion in capital expenditures in 2025, which is aimed at building up technical infrastructure, primarily for servers, followed by data centers and networking. Alphabet currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), suggesting that it may be wise to wait for a more favorable entry point to start accumulating the stock.

Tech Update: Feds announce funding for a fleet of promising decarbonization projects
Toronto's garbage trucks are about to become less wasteful. Thanks to a collaboration between the city of Toronto and Quebec-based Effenco, 60 of the city's waste-collection vehicles will be converted into hybrid models — with the aim of eventually transitioning toward a fully electric system. The Repower Project has the potential to dramatically reduce the emissions and fuel consumption of Toronto's waste-collection fleet. It is one of several ambitious initiatives that will receive funding as part of a federal government strategy to decarbonize the transportation sector. Last week, Minister of AI and Digital Innovation Evan Solomon announced plans to distribute $21 million in funding to projects including a low-energy defrosting and defogging system for commercial EV trucks in Oakville, a McMaster University-developed AI-powered tool kit for EV bus optimization and charging for Canadian public transit agencies. The city of Toronto will receive $4.97 million to support the transformation of its garbage truck fleet. The hope is that these investments will help address market barriers and increase adoption of lower-emission medium- to heavy-duty vehicles that are particularly well suited to the Canadian landscape, as Solomon explained in a statement: 'We're enabling homegrown breakthroughs — right here in the GTA and southwestern Ontario — that are driving electric vehicle performance, safety and reliability in uniquely Canadian conditions.'

Why Nebius Group Stock Was Soaring Today
Key Points The AI infrastructure platform is seeing a surge in demand. The company said it was adjusted EBITDA positive in its core business. Nebius expects to finish the year with $1 billion in run-rate revenue. 10 stocks we like better than Nebius Group › Shares of Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS) were soaring this week after the generative AI-focused cloud infrastructure platform impressed investors with its second-quarter earnings report. According to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, the stock was up 28.5% as of 11:48 a.m. ET. Nebius is on fire Nebius, which evolved out of the Russian tech giant Yandex to focus on cloud computing for generative AI, posted another quarter of skyrocketing growth, showing soaring demand for AI infrastructure. Revenue jumped 625% to $105.1 million, which topped estimates at $101.2 million. Nebius' adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) loss expanded from $21 million to $58.1 million as it invests in the massive opportunity in front of it. However, the company said that its core business achieved positive adjusted EBITDA in the quarter. CEO Arkady Volozh said: "Demand for AI infrastructure -- compute, software, and services -- is only going to get stronger as use cases multiply. We are aggressively scaling up capacity to capture this substantial opportunity and are in the process of securing more than 1 GW of power by the end of 2026." What's next for Nebius Looking ahead, Nebius raised its annual run-rate revenue guidance to $900 million-$1.1 billion, meaning the company should have annual contracts of around $1 billion by the end of the year, making the stock look more affordable than it might otherwise. Its growth demonstrates the tremendous opportunity in front of it, and the stock looks like a good bet to move higher as the AI infrastructure buildout continues.
