Laura Martin has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors tied to Alphabet’s strengthening position in artificial intelligence. She argues that many large language model projects now being financed are unlikely to survive, making it critical for investors to back the platforms best positioned to generate attractive returns on generative AI capital spending over the next several years.
In her view, Alphabet is emerging as a key beneficiary of this shakeout, helped by its strategic alliance and deep integration with Anthropic. She highlights Anthropic’s rapid revenue acceleration and growing enterprise adoption following its high‑profile stance on AI ethics, and sees Alphabet as uniquely placed to monetize this momentum through its cloud, infrastructure, and broader AI ecosystem, supporting a Buy recommendation.
In another report released on April 6, Citi also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $390.00 price target.
