Alphabet (GOOG) has experienced a turbulent period, with stock falling after the year-end earnings release and during the first quarter. Despite the downs, the company has also noted significant growth spots, such as the unveiling of a record-breaking AI chip, 'Ironwood'. This development suggests a strong focus on AI as part of Alphabet's strategy. Underpinning this, Alphabet has also backed OpenAI co-founder Sutskever's new AI startup, Safe Superintelligence. Analysts at JPMorgan, veteran investors, and hedge funds suggest Alphabet is a strong buy, while Alphabet itself has reaffirmed a significant $75 billion spending plan in 2025. Rumors of layoffs in the Android, Pixel, Chrome sector amidst restructuring have circulated, but the acquisition of Wiz is heralded as a game-changer for Cloud Security and Growth. Alphabet's stock movement, however, has been compared to Kodak's decline. AI integration remains strong, with developments in Google Cloud's AI servers and AI-powered YouTube further boosting the company's offerings. Alphabet's dealing with tariff implications and job cuts within Google notwithstanding, the renewed focus on AI and strategic plans points towards continual growth.
