The recent beta launch of Max campaigns shows promising results, with up to 27% more conversions and lower costs.
Alphabet’s advertising revenue rose by 12.6% in Q3 2025, with Google Services driving growth in Search and YouTube. AI-powered advertising products like AI Max are expanding opportunities for advertisers. The company’s focus on AI in Search is expected to boost advertising revenues further.
Despite both companies performing well, Reddit and Alphabet stocks are currently overvalued. RDDT shares have a higher forward 12-month Price/Sales ratio compared to GOOGL.
