About: Alphabet is a holding company. Internet media giant Google is a wholly owned subsidiary. Google services account for nearly 90% of Alphabet's revenue, of which more than 85% is from online ads. Other Google services revenue is from sales of apps and content on Google Play and YouTube, as well as sales of hardware such as Chromebooks, the Pixel smartphone, and smart home products, which include Nest and Google Home. Google's cloud computing offerings account for a bit more than 10% of total Alphabet revenue. Alphabet's moonshot investments are in its other bets segment, where it bets on technology to enhance health (Verily), provide faster internet access (Google Fiber), enable self-driving cars (Waymo), and more.

Google: Core Services In Focus As AI Threat Fades
Google is showing a strong growth trajectory in the core search business segment, which shows an effective moat against new AI competition. Prior to the launch of ChatGPT, the Google Search segment reported close to $40 billion in revenue in Q3 2022, which increased to $49.3 billion in Q3 2024, or 25% growth. Google will likely face a bigger threat due to rapid growth in digital advertising market share by other players like Amazon, TikTok, and other players as advertisers gain greater options.

I Thought AI Stocks Were in a Bubble, But These 3 Trends Have Me Thinking Again
The last few years of AI-induced gains have some folks going on bubble watch. And while the meteoric rise of names like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) could end in a painful pullback of sorts at some point down the line, I'm not so sure you can dismiss all high-tech AI innovators as a bubble that's just waiting to be burst.
