The Motley Fool· 2025-07-06 09:30
Core Viewpoint - Alphabet is currently undervalued in the market despite solid performance, primarily due to investor fears regarding the impact of generative AI on its legacy business, Google Search [1][2].

Valuation Potential - If Alphabet's valuation aligns with the average of its peers, which is 31.3 times forward earnings, the stock could potentially rise by 68% without accounting for future growth [9][10]. - Achieving this valuation would position Alphabet as one of the largest companies by market cap, tied with Microsoft [12]. Market Outlook - The market may take time to recognize Alphabet's value, but if it continues to deliver strong results, it is expected to eventually receive a premium valuation similar to its peers [13].
