Source, summary and reference
The video discusses Google's (GOOGL) Q4 2025 earnings, highlighting strong revenue growth in Google Services and Google Cloud, with the latter showing significant acceleration. Despite beating analyst expectations for revenue and EPS, the stock dropped around 9% due to a significant increase in capital expenditure, specifically targeting AI infrastructure and data centers, which more than doubled year-over-year. The company's financial health remains strong with substantial cash reserves and impressive profit margins. The partnership with Apple to integrate Gemini into Siri is seen as a major strategic win for Google, potentially driving significant revenue and AI adoption across Apple's ecosystem. This partnership, coupled with Google Cloud's robust growth and its own AI capabilities, suggests a positive long-term outlook for the stock, despite the recent market reaction to increased spending.
In this video, you’ll learn whether Alphabet stock is still a buy after its recent earnings report and 9% post-earnings drop. I break down Alphabet’s Q4 and full-year 2025 results, the shocking $185 billion in CapEx guidance for 2026, the explosive 48% growth in Google Cloud, and the new Apple-Gemini partnership. I will walk you through the numbers, valuation, risks, and long-term AI thesis so you can decide if this Magnificent 7 giant still deserves a premium valuation at 26x forward earnings. Alphabet just delivered 18% revenue growth, 32% net income growth, and is sitting on $80 billion in net cash. Yet the stock pulled back. I will explain why the market reacted the way it did and whether this could be a rare opportunity for long-term investors. Here's what you'll learn Why Google Cloud’s 48% growth and $240B backlog could transform profitability How the Apple Gemini deal could unlock billions in high-margin AI revenue Whether $185B in CapEx is reckless overspending or strategic dominance If 26x forward earnings is justified for an AI infrastructure leader My two-year outlook on Cloud profits and Alphabet’s AI moat Skip ahead: 0:00 - Intro 1:26 - Earnings 2:21 - Financials 6:10 - GOOGL's price 9:51 - Growth catalysts 15:17 - Verdict #Alphabet #AlphabetStock #GOOGL #GOOG #GoogleStock #Magnificent7 #AIStocks #ArtificialIntelligence #GoogleCloud #GeminiAI #AppleGemini #StockMarket #Investing #GrowthStocks #TechStocks #LongTermInvesting #StockAnalysis #RickOrford #MegaCapStocks #CloudComputing Check out Seeking Alpha: https://rickorford.com/sa Discord: https://rickorford.com/join Website: https://rickorford.com Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications for more exclusive content!
