See our latest analysis for Alphabet. That surge in momentum, with a 30 day share price return of 11.51% and a 3 year total shareholder return of 251.14%, suggests investors are increasingly pricing Alphabet as a durable growth and AI infrastructure story rather than just a mature ad business. If Alphabet’s run has you rethinking your tech exposure, it might be worth seeing what else is shaping the sector by exploring high growth tech and AI stocks. With earnings still climbing double digits and the stock sitting only modestly below analyst targets, investors now face a tougher call: is Alphabet still mispriced, or is the market already baking in years of AI driven growth? Most Popular Narrative: 9.3% Undervalued According to oscargarcia, the narrative prices Alphabet above its last close of $308.22, implying further upside if its cash machine keeps compounding. Google’s balance sheet is like a bunker built with gold bricks. \nCash and Marketable Securities: Over $120B. Read the complete narrative. Curious how a fortress balance sheet, elevated margins and a rich future earnings multiple combine into that upside case? The levers behind this valuation may surprise you. Result: Fair Value of $340.00 (UNDERVALUED) Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts. However, regulatory pressure and AI driven search disruption still loom, and any stumble here could quickly challenge assumptions behind that Buffett style multiple expansion. Find out about the key risks to this Alphabet narrative. Another Angle on Valuation On earnings power, the story looks less forgiving. Alphabet trades at 29.9 times earnings compared with 17.4 times for the US Interactive Media and Services industry and 47.4 times for peers. Our fair ratio sits even higher at 37.3 times, leaving investors juggling upside against multiple compression risk. See what the numbers say about this price — find out in our valuation breakdown.
