Alphabet Class A is making significant strides in integrating artificial intelligence into its core products, such as Google Search, YouTube, and Google Cloud. Analysts from BMO Capital and JPMorgan are optimistic about Alphabet’s ability to leverage AI to create real value for users and businesses by 2026. The focus is on embedding AI into widely used services, which could drive growth across Search, Cloud, and advertising. This strategic move is expected to sustain revenue and profit growth, moving beyond the initial excitement of new product launches.
In a separate development, Alphabet is facing legal challenges in France, where a court has temporarily frozen €110 million of Google’s assets. This action follows a request from the administrator of Google’s now-defunct Russian business, citing illegal dividend payments made in 2021. The freeze is part of a broader legal maneuver involving Russian authorities and could lead to the seizure of funds if the French court enforces the Russian rulings. Despite these challenges, Wall Street analysts maintain a strong buy consensus on Alphabet’s stock, reflecting confidence in its long-term growth prospects.
