Alphabet | Fundamental Analysis |LONG| MUST READ !There is no denying that Alphabet has become a force to be considered with. Indeed, not many companies can boast that their branded product or service has become a verb: "google it." Beyond search, Alphabet is a leader in digital advertising, smartphone operating systems led by Android, and cloud computing with the rapidly growing Google Cloud. Recently, the tech giant informed about a historic 20-for-1 stock split, reducing the size of its stake for the first time in eight years. Now investors who have been considering buying the stock are encountered with a bothersome question: should they buy the stock now or wait until after the split? It's been a long time since Alphabet held its last stock split. In fact, the last time it happened was when the company was still called Google. That was in 2014, and Google didn't change its name to Alphabet until late 2015. What's notable about the previous stock split is that it created non-voting Class C shares of Google, while Class A shares maintained the standard one vote per share. In April 2012, a shareholder lawsuit was filed alleging that co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin orchestrated the stock split to maintain control of the company to the detriment of shareholders. As a result of the split, the company increased the number of shares without a commensurate increase in voting rights. The lawsuit was eventually settled, allowing the split to proceed with shareholder compensation. In the nearly two years between the announcement and the actual stock split, Google stock was up about 74%. Typically, a split does not change the overall economic value of the company that is doing the split. One share of Alphabet worth $2,800 is worth as much as 20 shares worth $140 (20 x $140 = $2,800). As with pizza, the number of slices does not change the overall size of the pie. Nevertheless, some argue that the underlying effect is positive for investor psychology. That's exactly what happened when several well-known companies made headlines over the past couple of years as investors rushed to buy shares after the stock split announcement. Apple stock rose 34% in a month after announcing a 4-for-1 stock split in July 2020. Tesla followed suit less than two weeks later, announcing a 5-for-1 stock split. Between the announcement and the completion of the split, the stock jumped 81%. A similar situation occurred in May 2021, when The Trade Desk announced a 10-for-1 stock split and Nvidia unveiled plans for a 4-for-1 stock split. The Trade Desk and Nvidia stock rose 27% and 24%, respectively, between the day of the announcement and the day the split was completed. Aptus Capital Advisor senior analyst and portfolio manager David Wagner opined on the situation, "We all know the split doesn't boost the fundamental value of the company. ... but from what we've seen in the market with Tesla and Nvidia, people like to chase splits." There are many reasons to think that Alphabet will continue on the same upward trajectory that led to that famous stock split. Google's dominance in search remains unchallenged, with about 92 percent of the global search engine market. Alphabet is using this advantage to gain a leadership position in digital advertising, which accounts for about 29% of global digital ad spending. Nor should we forget Google Cloud, which has quietly risen to the top three, behind only Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. These factors drove Alphabet's strong performance. In the fourth quarter, revenues of $75.3 billion rose 32% year over year, and operating margins improved, boosting earnings per share (EPS) to $30.69, a 38% increase. For investors who are optimistic about Alphabet, there's no reason to hesitate to buy the stock, unless, of course, your financial situation allows you to shell out almost $3,000 per share. If that's the case, and your broker doesn't offer the option to buy fractional shares, a stock split will make them much more affordable over time. If you plan to buy Alphabet stock now, keep in mind that it may require additional record keeping. Those who are buying the stock now (at about $2,800) need to remember to adjust their records to reflect the revised cost base by dividing it by 20 to account for newly issued shares ($2,800 / 20 shares = $140). This will become important when you eventually sell your stock and settle with the tax authorities. Fortunately, brokerage firms know how to do this, so it shouldn't be too difficult. Given Alphabet's market dominance, great execution, and continued outlook, it doesn't matter if you buy the stock now or wait until after the July 18 split-adjusted trading. What matters is that you buy them.

Google (GOOGL) |The best area for correction♻️Hello traders, Google in daily timeframe , this analysis has been prepared in daily timeframe but has been published for a better view in 2 day timeframe. The waves that we counted are the main waves 1 and 2 and the rest of the waves are related to the microwaves of the main wave 3. From these microwaves, waves 1 and 2 are over and now we are inside wave 3. Wave 3 itself forms Wave 4 at a lower level. This wave has 4 triangular patterns, which is in its last wave, ie wave e, which has the ability to return from the same range and can even continue this downward movement up to Fibo 0.5. To confirm further movement, it is necessary to break the current range (price 2660) downwards. 🙏If you have an idea that helps me provide a better analysis, I will be happy to write in the comments🙏 ❤️Please, support this idea with a like and comment!❤️

Wait before entering Alphabet GoogleThere will be absolute volatility as Fed's Hawkish stand. Best place to invest will be India more than US. Regarding Alphabet. If I was you I would wait for it to cool down till 2646-2655 levels Or You can buy after it gives a break out above 3037 levels. Right now it will stay range bound and keep fluctuating with action of FED. If important support level of 2646 is broken Alphabet can go to 2483 or below. So we should wait for it to form a bottom. Let it bounce from there then make your moves. Other thing you can do is let it give a Break out above 3037. If it gives a closing above 3037 Alphabet (Google) can go to 3366 levels. That's the target for medium term. Closing below 2190 should be the Stop loss.

1H Google Potential Long EntryGoogle gapped up after it's earnings report. It has now retraced to fill those orders. If the uptrend were to continue, this looks like a logical place from which it would do so. A confirmation would be breaking through the descending channel . We also had a better than expected earnings report, and it has seen continuous positive growth over the last several years, which is bullish for the share price. Companies around the world are moving away from traditional computing infrastructure and towards cloud storage. Google Cloud is one of the few companies with the vast infrastructure in place to take advantage of this shift.

Google (GOOGL) | The last target to climb🔥Hello traders, Google in daily timeframe , this analysis has been prepared in daily timeframe but has been published for a better view in 2 day timeframe. The waves that we counted are the main waves 1 and 2 and the rest of the waves are related to the microwaves of the main wave 3. From these microwaves, waves 1 and 2 are over and now we are inside wave 3. Wave 3 itself forms Wave 4 at a lower level. According to its current structure, this wave 4 has formed a complex pattern, ie double zigzag, and now the ascent is related to wave 5 from wave 3 to wave 3, and if it is confirmed that it will make another ascent, otherwise it is still inside wave 4 and the structure Wave 4 is a triangular structure that requires a half of the previous wave and a maximum of up to 0.50 Fibonacci to complete the minimum drop. ❤️Please, support this idea with a like and comment!❤️

Google all time high.Although Alphabet has now printed a higher high, it will eventually need to print a higher low on the daily chart, above the Jan. 24 low-of-day, in order to confirm its uptrend. Bullish traders may watch for a reversal candlestick to print such as a doji or hammer to confirm the higher low is in. Alphabet is trading above the eight-day and 21-day exponential moving averages (EMAs) and the eight-day EMA is about to cross above the 21-day, both of which are bullish indicators. On Wednesday, the stock was able to pop up above the 50-day simple moving average as well, which indicates longer-term sentiment is now bullish. Bulls want to see Alphabet trade sideways in consolidation to demonstrate stability or for the stock to drop and fill the gap, which could provide a solid entry to go long into the stock split. If either scenario plays out, the stock could be in for a blue sky run. Alphabet has resistance 2,992.10 and $3,037. Bears want to see big bearish volume knock Alphabet down into the gap and then for continued bearish moment to push the stock down below $2,494, which would indicate Wednesday’s move was a bull trap and the stock will continue in its downtrend. There is support below at $2,884.45 and $2,834.83.

HUGE Long-Term BUYING opportunity on PayPal #PYPLWe've just opened a LONG #PYPL (PayPal Holdings) position using 2.50% of our equity as we believe that the current post-earnings sell-off is quite overdone at these levels. The stock is down over 58% from its all-time highs of $310 that it reached mid-summer last year. Our view is that while there are definitely issues related to the future growth trajectory of the company that investors are rightfully worried about, the current price action is pricing in the worst possible scenario for the company moving forward, which in our opinion has a very low probability of actually materializing. Furthermore, the weak forward guidance and the severely lowered investor expectations will make it that much easier for the company to beat its own forecasts in the coming months, considering its leadership position in its sector, thus surprising the street positively. This will then cause a chain reaction of positive analyst upgrades and price target revisions. Yes, this whole process might take some time to materialize, but if you are looking for a solid growth stock with a remarkable long-term potential to double your money, then #PYPL is a screaming buy anywhere around the $125-130 range. There is no question about the fact that the miss on the bottom line (EPS) in the most recent earnings report together with the poor forward guidance that the management gave on the earnings call after have been the major drivers for the vicious sell-off that we are seeing today. For 2022, management expects net revenue to increase about 15% to 17% (19% to 21% ex-eBay), and that’s below the roughly 18% analysts were forecasting. The earnings outlook wasn’t any better, with management forecasting adjusted earnings of $4.60 to $4.75, well below analyst estimates of $5.21. On the new users front, PayPal expects to add about 15 million to 20 million net new active accounts this year, and analysts were forecasting growth of about 55 million. This was definitely one of the most disappointing components of the report. However, we believe that the down-beat forward guidance given by the company is hugely blown out of proportions and it seems that investors have been very quick to forget that #PYPL is the leader in the digital payments space and could technically be considered as the largest digital bank in the world with over 300 million clients. Our analysis shows that the eBay transition that the company has been going through has definitely weighted on its financial performance. However, we are in the final stages of it and it will be over and done with by the second half of the year. What investors need to focus on is the fact that the company’s growth rates excluding eBay have remained above 20%. In addition to that the #AMZN (Amazon) partnership with Venmo hasn’t even started yet, and PayPal is free to explore many new partnerships now that it is no longer constrained by its relationship with #EBAY (eBay) . Also, operating expenditure growth is also expected to moderate down the road, allowing management to flex the leverage in the business model and help expand margins. Apart from adding the stock to our long-term corporate investment portfolio here, we've also opened few long-term CALL options on $PYPL, which we expect to substantially boost our portfolio returns in 2022. Follow and copy us for more detailed market analyses, profitable trading ideas and a consistent portfolio performance. Sincerely, @DowExperts

Breakout Play on GOOGL The share price of GOOGL rose in after-hours trading yesterday after Google's parent company Alphabet posted robust earnings for the fourth quarter. This entails the opportunity for catching the newly emerging uptrend. The upswing commenced following the completion of the last 1-5 Elliott impulse wave pattern at the lower limit of the descending channel. The price action is to test the 100-day MA (in blue) after today's open. If it manages to break it, the next target would be the 61.8 per cent Fibonacci retracement level at 2817.87, which is currently converging with the 200-day MA (in orange) and the upper limit of the channel; both factors making this last Fibonacci threshold a more significant barrier. Conversely, a failed breakout could potentially lead to a dropdown to the 38.2 per cent Fibonacci at 2693.62, which is about to converge with the 50-day MA (in green). Traders could potentially use such a dropdown to buy the dip of the correction.

Google Pre-Stock SplitWith Google (Alphabet) announcing a 20-1 stock split it is not shocking to see Google back up at $2,900. However, looking at Tesla's stock trend prior to their stock split, my guess is that Google will hold around $2,900 to $3,100 for next 15 days. Google stock split will push Google back in front as the highest market cap company listed on the NASDAQ, yes ahead of Apple 3 trillion dollar market cap (or whatever it is at today). It is time to to move forward and see a nice bullish run heading into February and on into March.

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.
