Monness analyst Brian White has maintained their neutral stance on GOOGL stock, giving a Hold rating yesterday.
Brian White has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Alphabet Class A’s current market position and future prospects. The company is making significant strides in innovation, particularly in AI and cloud services, as demonstrated by the recent Google Cloud Next event. However, despite these advancements, there are challenges that could impact its performance.
The antitrust environment remains a significant concern, as regulatory pressures could affect Alphabet’s operations.
