Justin Post’s rating is based on the observation that Google’s core search traffic remains stable, with a slight increase in mobile daily active users. Despite a marginal decline in global search share, Google’s extensive scale and multi-product reach position it well in the competitive landscape.
Additionally, the potential for AI to enhance search monetization by better understanding user intent behind complex queries is a significant factor. This capability, combined with Google’s robust monetization infrastructure, supports the Buy rating, as it suggests potential for future revenue growth.
