Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) is a global tech leader with a market cap of $1.9 trillion, offering diverse services like cloud computing and autonomous vehicles. Analysts expect Q1 2025 earnings to be $2.02 per share, a 6.9% increase from last year. For fiscal 2025, EPS is projected to be $8.89, up 10.6% from fiscal 2024.

Despite a 1.4% rise in the past year, Alphabet shares have underperformed the S&P 500 and XLC. Following Q4 2024 earnings, shares dropped 7.3% due to lower-than-expected Google Cloud revenue and concerns over aggressive capital expenditure. Analysts maintain a bullish outlook on Alphabet stock, with a majority rating it as a “Strong Buy.”

Despite a “Strong Buy” rating from analysts, Alphabet stock is currently trading below the average price target of $214.70. The company’s heavy spending and competitive threats from China’s DeepSeek have raised concerns among investors.
