Alphabet

Alphabet | Fundamental Analysis | SHORT Alphabet, Google's parent company, has returned about 800% to its investors over the past 10 years, more than double the return of the NASDAQ, which was nearly 400%. Alphabet also remained resilient during the COVID lockdown, as an increase in its cloud business compensated for a transient deceleration in ad sales. The company also avoided a post-localization slowdown as its advertising and cloud businesses increased in tandem. As a result, Alphabet's stock is up 65% in 2021, well ahead of the NASDAQ, S&P 500, and even the growth-oriented ARK Innovation ETF Cathie Wood. Can Alphabet continue to achieve such heights, outperforming the market? To find out, let's evaluate the long-term potential of its core as well as nascent related businesses. In the first nine months of last year, Alphabet made 81% of its revenue from Google ads (including YouTube). Google's sprawling ecosystem, which creates targeted ads based on a user's personal data and browsing habits, allows it to share a near duopoly in the digital advertising market with Meta's Facebook and Instagram. But Google's market share could gradually shrink over the next few years as Amazon and other smaller ad platforms shrink the market. For instance, eMarketer predicts Google's share of the U.S. digital advertising market to decline from 28.6 percent in 2021 to 26.4 percent next year. Nevertheless, the global digital advertising market could still grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.3% from 2020 to 2025. The research firm also expects the market to continue growing at a CAGR of 13.7% from 2025 to 2030. Thus, the growth of the broader digital advertising market, led by high-growth emerging markets, could easily offset any loss of market share to Google by other advertising platforms. Google's advertising business could easily match the rate of market growth if it takes care of its near-term headwinds, including antitrust investigations, Apple's privacy changes in iOS, and a plan to block all third-party cookies in Chrome by the end of 2023. These adaptations could push Google to decrease its dependence on targeted ads and rely more on first-party data and contextual advertising. This transition may be bumpy, but Google is likely to remain the leading advertising platform for businesses as long as it dominates the online search and video markets. The other major growth driver for Alphabet is Google Cloud, which brought in 7% of the company's revenue in the first nine months of 2021. As per Canalys, Google Cloud controlled only 8% of the global cloud infrastructure market in Q3 of last year, putting it a distant third behind Amazon Web Services (AWS) (32%) and Microsoft Azure (21%). Google Cloud is still growing rapidly. Its revenue grew 46% to $13.1 billion in 2020 and another 48% year over year to $13.7 billion in the first nine months of 2021. Its share of 8% in the third quarter also improved from 7% a year ago and 6% in the third quarter of 2019. According to Report Ocean, the global cloud computing market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 17.3% from 2021 to 2027. Google Cloud is likely to equal or even surpass that growth rate if it just doesn't fall behind Amazon and Microsoft in the cloud infrastructure race. Investors are not currently paying much attention to Alphabet's other divisions, which include hardware products (Pixel, Home, Nest, and Fitbit), subscription services, life sciences divisions, and the Waymo drone division. But over the next decade, these small businesses could start generating a much larger percentage of Alphabet's revenue. Its hardware devices could benefit from the continued expansion of the smart home and Internet of Things (IoT) markets, its Calico and Verily science divisions could launch innovative medical procedures and devices. Waymo could launch more robo taxis or license its unmanned driving technology to major automakers. The estimates for these next-generation markets are staggering. According to experts, the global IoT market will grow by 25.4 percent from 2021 to 2028. The same company expects the driverless car market to grow 31.3% from 2021 to 2028. If Alphabet's CAGR grows by 15% over the next ten years, annual growth will amount to an increase from $254 billion in 2021 to more than $1 trillion in 2031. This growth could be interrupted by antitrust threats, a platform change, or an economic downturn, but Alphabet still has a path to many times more profits over the next decade-even for those investors who missed its last 10-year growth.

Alphabet Inc completing a flat. GOOGLThis is one due for a bit more of a drop. It almost reached a pivot and we are pretty confident this one is going to cross the line. The rest of the picture is looking far too typical for a running floor. We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in purple with invalidation in red. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe!

ALPHABET ( GOOGLE ) FUNDAMENTAL + TRADING ANALYSIS | LONG SETUP⚡Shortly after becoming CEO of Alphabet in 2015, Sundar Pichai boldly stated that his vision was to become an AI-focused company. Alphabet's consistent investment in supporting long-term growth is seen in its strong financial accomplishments. Even though it competes with other tech giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Netflix, Alphabet's recent quarterly results suggest that it could well become the world's largest company by market capitalization, displacing Apple in the not-too-distant future. Since the beginning of the year, Alphabet's stock has risen more than 67 percent, nearly triple the 24 percent gain in the S&P 500. Let's break down the financial numbers to see if these gains can continue. In Q3 2021, Alphabet posted revenues of $65 billion, a 41% increase over last year. While this level of growth for a company of this size is terrific, more importantly, it's which business segments contributed the most to the company's results. Alphabet's quarterly revenues were distributed as follows: Advertising ($53.1 billion), Other ($6.9 billion), and Google Cloud ($4.9 billion). According to the company's latest report, investors can see that YouTube brought $7.2 billion in advertising revenue this quarter. On an annualized basis, YouTube's revenue was $20.2 billion, up from $12.9 billion in the first nine months of 2020. That represents a 57% increase over last year. By comparison, Netflix generated $7.5 billion in revenue in the third quarter of 2021 and $21.9 billion in revenue for the year. Comparing that figure to $18.4 billion in the first nine months of 2020, Netflix is up 19% year over year. YouTube's revenues are now $30 billion a year and growing almost three times faster than Netflix's. Given that Alphabet acquired YouTube for $1.65 billion in 2006, it has seen an unbelievable return on investment over the past fifteen years. Google Cloud generated $4.9 billion in revenue in Q3 2021. On the other hand, Amazon's cloud product, AWS, generated $16 billion in revenue in Q3 2021. It's critical to consider that Google Cloud is almost a third smaller than AWS. Nevertheless, some companies, including Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet, are well-positioned to benefit from the growth of cloud adoption. Gartner believes that worldwide spending on public cloud services will grow from $243 billion in 2019 to $692 billion by 2025, a 16 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Furthermore, large software companies like Snowflake typically count on more than one public cloud, giving Alphabet ample opportunity to obtain market share even with other players. Among other things, artificial intelligence has been a major theme for big tech. Microsoft has an AI-focused venture capital fund, and it uses the technology to build apps in Azure and support interactions with Cortana. Amazon uses artificial intelligence in the form of its recommendation system, the robots that work in its warehouses, and its Alexa voice assistant. Apple and Netflix, on the other hand, lag behind the other FAANG members when it comes to AI. Notably, Netflix only offers one product (streaming), which does not give it much room to invest in new technology and distinguish itself among its peers. Although competitors such as Microsoft and Amazon are now actively investing in AI, investors might say that Alphabet had a head start, and now other big tech companies are playing catch-up. Alphabet's original product, Google search, used AI in its algorithms. Moreover, Gmail's Suggested Answers feature uses AI. Like Alexa, Google Assistant relies on natural language processing to interpret voice commands. Alphabet also has its own version of Apple's app store, Google Play, and consumers can easily make online purchases of food or other goods. Alphabet's strategic investment has allowed it to effectively create and offer consumers an experience similar to what other tech giants offer, but all in one ecosystem. And now we're seeing the return on that investment in the form of high double-digit revenue growth and profit margins, putting Alphabet far ahead of its FAANG peers. Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, and Alphabet are all well-capitalized companies. These four invest heavily in different business segments and compete in overlapping industries. However, Alphabet's growth rate stands out among these FAANG club members. Microsoft's third-quarter revenues were up 22% year over year, and Amazon's was up 15%. Alphabet's revenues grew 41% year-over-year, nearly twice as much as Microsoft's and nearly three times as much as Amazon's. Alphabet's investment in becoming an artificial intelligence company is bearing meaningful fruit, and as the world becomes more digital, several product lines and segments of Alphabet's business could benefit. Traders, if you like this idea or have your own opinion about it, please write your own in the comment box . We will be glad for this. Feel free to request any pair/instrument analysis or ask any questions in the comment section below. Have a Good Day Trading !

GOOGLE Alphabet | Fundamental Analysis + NEXT TARGET Alphabet, the parent company of Google, is one of the largest technology businesses in the world. If you had invested $1,000 in the company's IPO back then, your investment would be worth about $63,500 today. That's great news for early investors, but those who don't already own Alphabet may wonder if it's too late to buy stock in this FAANG company. Today we'll look at a few convincing judgments to buy Alphabet, as well as one reason to sell it, to see if it's still a good long-term investment. First, the company is a powerful energy in online advertising. Alphabet's expansive ecosystem includes the world's most popular search engine, a mobile operating system (Android), a streaming video site (YouTube), a Web browser (Chrome), and an e-mail platform (Gmail). All of these platforms support Google's core advertising business, which sells search, display, and video ads on all of its platforms. According to eMarketer, Google is likely to account for 28.6 percent of all digital ad spending worldwide this year, putting it in the first place, ahead of Facebook's 25.2 percent. All of Google's smaller competitors and Facebook - such as Alibaba, Amazon, and Tencent Holdings - still hold single-digit shares of the digital advertising market. So any business looking to advertise online is likely to visit Google and Facebook before considering other platforms. Last year, Alphabet's ad revenue from Google grew 9% to $146.9 billion, or 80% of the company's total revenue, even though the pandemic caused businesses to buy fewer ads. In the first half of 2021, Google's ad revenue grew 50% year over year to $95.1 billion as the negative factors associated with the pandemic subsided. Second is the growth of Google Cloud. Google's advertising business slowed temporarily in 2020, but Google Cloud revenue grew 46% to $13.1 billion as cloud usage accelerated during the pandemic. In the first half of 2021, segment revenues grew another 50% year over year to $8.7 billion. Google Cloud is not yet profitable, according to Canalys, and it still ranks a distant third in the cloud infrastructure market behind Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. But Google Cloud continues to expand and win over an expanding listing of major partners, including Target, Home Depot, Twitter, and PayPal. Many of these customers probably don't want to support Amazon's most profitable business (as they compete with its retail business) or tie themselves to other Microsoft enterprise services. Google Cloud's profitability should expand as it improves, but until then it can subsidize its growth with its more profitable advertising business. According to Research and Markets, the global cloud computing market will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.1 percent from 2021 to 2028, so Google's cloud business could grow faster than its core advertising business for the foreseeable future. Third, it's a reasonable valuation of the company. Analysts expect Alphabet's revenues and profits to grow 37% and 72%, respectively, this year, amid an easy comparison to the impact of the pandemic on the advertising business. Next year, they expect revenues and profits to grow 17% and 5%, respectively, as comparisons with last year normalize. Based on these expectations, Alphabet is trading at 26 times earnings guidance and 7 times sales guidance, making it more reasonably valued than many of the more "bloated" growth stocks in the tech sector. But there is still one cause for concern: antitrust risks. Alphabet's core businesses look strong, but a series of antitrust battles could undermine its growth. Last October, the U.S. Department of Justice filed an antitrust suit against Google for allegedly monopolizing the online search and search-based advertising market, and is reportedly preparing to file a second antitrust suit to address Google's dominance in certain advertising technologies. Two separate coalitions of states have also filed their lawsuits against Google over its search and advertising business. The European Commission previously investigated Google Shopping, Google AdSense, and Android, after which it accused Google of using these platforms to drive competitors out of their respective markets. These antitrust investigations led to three separate fines totaling more than $8 billion and forced Google to stop bundling its third-party apps with new Android devices in Europe. If the DOJ case follows a similar path, Google could face even more fines and demands to unbundle its ecosystem. Google also bears additional antitrust encounters in Australia, India, and South Korea, and more countries may join the process. All of these pressures could prevent investors from paying a higher premium for Alphabet stock. Alphabet's antitrust problems can't be ignored, but they don't negate its strengths just yet. Alphabet will likely continue to grow, even if fines and new restrictions get in its way. In a worst-case scenario, Alphabet could be split into several smaller companies. Nevertheless, Alphabet investors would likely get new shares of these smaller companies that could continue to grow on their own without being tied to Google's sprawling ecosystem.

Google, 1 OCT - Elliott waves | Gann | Astrology $GOOGAlphabet approaches Gann level 2651 and we can count 5 waves to the downside (green count). The 20 week MA (red) is located below at 2630. An idea would be to reduce short exposure on Gann level and further observe if buyers step in. Ascendent conjuncts natal Mercury today, however it stands in trine to natal North Node. Mars squares natal Venus on 2 OCT. Overall rather mixes signals. Alphabet’s Waymo received a license to offer self-driving rides in California, an important development for the company. Until 8 OCT the Irish govt. is to decide on joining OECD corporate tax proposals, which may impact Alphabet’s margins so that we need to be careful with long positions. ______________ www.constellations.trade In my analyses I combine Elliott waves, Gann theory, and planetary aspects to identify turning points in the markets & derive high-probability trading ideas.

Google, 29 SEP - Elliott waves | Gann | Astrology $GOOGAlphabet hit resistance at Gann level 2861 and began to lead the market in yesterday’s selloff. As expected from the Nasdaq analysis we can recognise an unfolding wave (c), which is reflected in GOOG as well. If the green count is accurate, GOOG may have completed wave iii, so that we can look for a potential wave iv with a retrace to the .382 Fib level (blue box). Waves 4 are hard to trade but due to their choppiness we may profit from a brief contraction of implied volatility when selling premium. If wave C continues to unfold we may look at the next levels for potential supports: - 2699, wave (a)=(c) equality - 2651 Gann level - 2549 and 2559, Gann level & 1.618 Fib level On 29 SEP three minor Mars/Moon constellations occur. Correlations: DXY continues its exceptional strength as yield spiked, but Gold and Bitcoin has started to rise again, which could potentially be an early indicator that USD may begin to slow. EURUSD is at support level as well. A declining USD would help the yield-sensitive tech sector. ______________ www.constellations.trade In my analyses I combine Elliott waves, Gann theory, and planetary aspects to identify turning points in the markets & derive high-probability trading ideas.

ALPHABET Inc. ( Google ) - Fundamental Analysis - Next target Investors are probably already familiar with FAANG stock, having seen how these five companies - Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Alphabet - led the Nasdaq Index to all-time highs over the past decade. The importance of these five tech companies cannot be exaggerated, and even through the pandemic, the FAANG five contributed to the tech index reaching new all-time highs. But if there is one among these five companies whose stock is worth thinking about buying today, it is Alphabet. Originally known as Google, or the "G" in the FAANG acronym, the company altered its name six years ago to show it was far from a conventional business. Even though Google is still a major part of Alphabet, the company is made up of many diverse businesses that explore various technologies and industries. All of the above, as well as the fact that Alphabet's performance is excellent, is a good reason not to hesitate to buy shares in this Internet giant. Alphabet's financial results are impressive, which illustrates why the company's stock has nearly doubled in the last year alone. Revenue was $90.3 billion in 2016 and more than doubled to $182.5 billion by 2020, while net income rose from $19.5 billion to $40.3 billion in the same period. What's more, capital spending has remained fairly constant even as operating cash flow has increased, resulting in the company's free cash flow growth over the past few years. The company has shown that it can still grow quickly, with revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 up 62% year over year. Increased technology adoption and digitalization have been important contributing factors to this growth, but Alphabet was already on a consecutive growth path before the pandemic began. Net income for the quarter more than doubled from the previous year to $18.5 billion, and the company's semiannual net income of $36.5 billion already exceeded net income for all of 2019. The great thing about Alphabet is not just its financial performance, but how the company is committed to improving everyone's lives in so many ways. The pandemic showed just how innovative the company has been, as Google teams launched more than 200 new products and features. Google Maps added a COVID-19 layer displaying case information to help people plan their routes, and Google Meet, the company's video conferencing software, became free to anyone with a Gmail account. CEO Sundar Pichai suggested a look at new products and systems during the company's latest earnings conference call. A new artificial intelligence system called Lambda with natural communication features will help make communication and computing more accessible to everyone. The upcoming 12th version of Android is designed to improve speed and energy efficiency as well as personalize devices. YouTube Shorts, a short video format similar to the popular TikTok, has been introduced in more than 100 countries and has garnered more than 15 billion daily views. Alphabet is also investing $10 billion over the next five years to strengthen cybersecurity, as it is now a critical area for many companies and governments. Don't forget that the tech giant also has a division called Other Bets, which is making ambitious investments in new technologies such as self-driving cars and data analytics in healthcare. This is just a snapshot of the loudest headlines in recent weeks about Alphabet's activities. It would take an entire book to cover everything. Alphabet's culture is based on "moonshots" that help the company develop related or new technologies and turn them into mature, thriving businesses. In fact, the company is not interested in making only incremental changes to its products and services, but rather in seeking revolutionary changes that can take technology to the next level. Thus, the company does not shy away from risky projects and encourages a culture of innovation that can lead to the discovery of disruptive technologies that can secure the future. That is what makes the future so exciting for the investor in Alphabet. The great news is that the company still has a long growth streak in store. Digital ad spending, which last year accounted for nearly 29 percent of the U.S. market share of Google, is up 12.2 percent year over year in 2020 and shows signs of continuing growth. Alphabet continues to invest in new technology and is steadily enhancing its cloud services, search engine, and other features. Given that the pandemic is a tailwind for technology adoption, investors should be confident that the company can continue to deliver results. The company's stock is relatively inexpensive, it trades at 26 times forward earnings, and the company will likely be able to deliver solid revenue and net income growth for years to come.

ALFHABET/GOOGLE:FUNDAMENTAL ANALISYS|PRICEA ACTION|LONG SETUP 🔔Praise be to Alphabet for looking beyond search engines and search-based advertising for opportunities. YouTube and its cloud computing services division have been hugely successful, providing at least some of the company's share gains in recent years. These businesses have also smoothed out potential fluctuations in revenue from one quarter to the next. For reference, however, the company's largest revenue-generating business is still search by a wide margin. Both Alphabet and its investors need to make sure that this area remains a focus, even as the company expands into other areas. Don't get it wrong: YouTube and Google Cloud are out of the picture. For the quarter ending in March, ad revenue on the former jumped 48% year over year as the platform became an unexpected destination for entertainment-hungry consumers during the pandemic. As it turns out, people like access to a universe of video content in a short format. Google's cloud revenues rose 46 percent in the same quarter as corporations resumed their transition to more flexible storage and computing format. Search advertising revenue grew only 30 percent year-over-year in those three months. However, we shouldn't forget about the outlook. Search still accounts for just over 58% of Alphabet's revenue, down only slightly from the first quarter of 2020. There are a few additional notes to the discussion. Let's take traffic acquisition costs as an example. Google incurs the cost of directing people who use the Internet to its affiliate sites, where those users are then monetized in various ways. The company can adjust its advertising revenue to some extent by spending more or less on web traffic. However, traffic acquisition costs (TAC) are not constant as a percentage of search and related service revenue. Last quarter, the TAC level reached $9.7 billion, or 19% of Google Services revenue, up from 22% in the same quarter a year earlier. Sometimes, however, those costs can take a turn for the worse. The main notable note, however, is the fact that while Alphabet publishes a detailed breakdown of revenue, it does not provide the same breakdown for operating income. All we know for sure is that Google Services - which includes search, YouTube, Android, and apps - is profitable, while the company's cloud business and "other areas" continue to lose money. The good news is that the company's losses from its cloud business are clearly shrinking. At the current rate of progress, Google Cloud could even go from losses to profits within a year or so. The bad news is that while we don't know for sure if YouTube is a profitable venture if it is, it is unlikely to be wildly profitable. Analysts and industry insiders disagree on YouTube's profitability, and their collective consensus broadly suggests that the company's operations are close to break even, though the average has a large standard deviation. Even if YouTube is indeed profitable, its revenue is still less than 14 percent of Google Services' revenue and less than 11 percent of Alphabet's total revenue. Indeed, if every bit of YouTube's revenue converted to profit (which it doesn't - not even close to), it would still be a minority of Alphabet's total revenue. In other words, it doesn't make a difference. Many investors are surprised to learn how little impact YouTube and Google Cloud have on Alphabet's financial results. That's the point of summarizing this reality in the simple charts above. And frankly, while both operating units are relatively small right now, they are both growing well and much faster than the company's traditional search advertising business. However, if you are a shareholder, this visual analysis also shows the importance of Alphabet's core business. Profits from search and advertising have helped fund YouTube's expansion toward self-sufficiency, and it's still funding the creation of Alphabet's cloud computing division. Investors will need more proof that the time, resources, and innovation invested in the cloud segment of the company's business are indeed driving profits if Alphabet wants to remain as much of a cash generator as it is now.
