The U.S. stock market has been volatile due to tariff plans, recession fears, and uncertainty. Investors are shifting towards dividend stocks over growth stocks to minimize risk. Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG, NASDAQ: GOOGL) is a potential growth stock with a market cap of over $2 trillion, currently trading at a bargain.

Alphabet’s stock is down 8% this year, making it more attractive for investors. Trading at 18 times forward earnings, it’s cheaper than peers like Apple and Microsoft. Despite revenue concentration in advertising, Alphabet remains a top money-making business globally.

Google Cloud, a growth driver for Alphabet, saw revenue of $12.3 billion in Q1, up 28% YoY. With operating income growing 142%, Google Cloud is positioned to make a meaningful contribution to Alphabet’s financials. Despite competition from Amazon and Microsoft, Google Cloud has reached profitability.
