Alphabet's Market Dominance and Growth Potential Driven by AI and Cloud InnovationsWe also highlight that as Gemini AI takes search share (mostly from itself) the shared economics with handset manufacturers are dramatically lower (Apple actually pays for access to Gemini) which also helps with search margin. 2. Leveraging search Gemini, appears to clearly have the current best AI boosted by years of research/investment in AI, access to massive financial firepower and vast amounts of data. We expect Gemini share gains relative to OpenAI to continue potentially at an accelerated pace (also boosted by Google’s AAPL AI deal), which in ’26 could put OpenAI in jeopardy of having to pull back on capex given massive obligations and likely falling OpenAI share (also exacerbated by OpenAI’s move to offer advertising creating a less attractive experience). 3.
Alphabet's Strong Financial Performance and Strategic AI Investments Drive Buy RatingWe lift our FY25-27 total revenue forecast by 1-4% in view of the AI empowerment. We roll over our valuation window to FY26 and raise our target price to US$328.0 based on 30x FY26E PE (previous: US$221.0 based on 22x FY25E PE), given the AI- enhanced growth outlook. Maintain BUY.
