Top Analysts See More Upside Ahead
Following the Q2 results, ten Top analysts have raised their price targets on the stock so far.
To begin with, Wedbush Top analyst Scott Devitt raised his price target on Alphabet from $200 to $225 and kept a Buy rating. The five-star boosted his Q3 and full-year estimates following strong Q2 earnings, now expecting $99.1 billion in revenue and $32.7 billion in operating income for the third quarter.
Looking ahead, Devitt expects continued strength across key segments, with Search revenue growing 9.5% year-over-year, YouTube Ads rising 11%, and Cloud revenue climbing 27.5%. He believes the stock’s current valuation is attractive, trading below both peers and the S&P 500 (SPX). Devitt continues to see solid upside for Alphabet, especially as investor concerns over the “current macro environment” and regulations begin to fade.
Similarly, another five-star analyst, Mark Mahaney of Evercore ISI, raised his price target on Alphabet from $205 to $240 and reiterated an Outperform rating following what he called a “Very Strong” Q2 earnings report. He modestly raised his revenue and EPS estimates by 1–3% based on solid performance and improving trends. The analyst highlighted strength across ads, margins, and Cloud, and sees Alphabet’s rising capex as a clear sign of confidence in its AI strategy and long-term growth cycle.
Further, Stifel analyst Mark Kelley raised his price target on Alphabet from $218 to $222 while maintaining a Buy rating. Kelley, a five-star analyst, described the company’s Q2 results as solid, with healthy ad performance in both Search and YouTube, and stronger-than-expected results in Cloud revenue and margins.
