Alphabet's AI Fightback: A Long-Term Bet At A Discount

  • Alphabet remains undervalued despite strong fundamentals, with a forward P/E of 19x compared to Microsoft's 37x, and 13.8% YoY revenue growth in Q2. Google Search, which generates 56% of total revenue, is under threat from ChatGPT, but so far continues to grow and monetize effectively. Gemini 2.5 is being aggressively deployed across Google's ecosystem — including YouTube, Android, Search Ads, Photos, and Workspace — to close the AI gap with OpenAI.
