Alphabet Class C, the parent company of Google, is making strategic moves to address the proliferation of AI-generated content on its YouTube platform. Starting July 15, new monetization guidelines will be implemented to curb the monetization of ‘mass-produced or repetitive’ content, aiming to deter low-effort productions while still allowing creators who use AI responsibly to monetize their videos. This change is part of Alphabet’s broader strategy to maintain a healthy creator community amid the rise of AI-generated content, which poses challenges to original content creators.
Despite a challenging first half of 2025, Alphabet’s stock outlook appears promising. Analysts maintain a ‘Strong Buy’ consensus, with a projected 15.09% upside for GOOGL stock. The company is navigating through a period of increased capital expenditure on AI infrastructure, which has impacted short-term margins. However, the potential for a macroeconomic recovery and Alphabet’s focus on expanding its Cloud business could drive future growth. The stock’s current valuation presents a compelling buy opportunity, with analysts forecasting continued revenue and earnings growth.
