Let's address the elephant in the room. Since we are discussing stocks what about Google.
This year their rates have gone to record high.

Their potential users are decreasing. Over the years their search quality has decreased considerably. It's just that they keep adding news users from different news country's which kept intact their user's base.
First of all it is coming to an halt. This could be due to many reasons finite number of country, US's monopoly and certain foreign policies etc. Second force feeding AI into everything on top of that bad search results. And publishers lost interest all at once when they announced they are going to achieve zero clicks. This is simply back stabbing and not to mention robbing.
Many users are already fleeing to DDG. So, many are also having the feeling that Alphabet Inc can buy DDG. But I don't think that will be easy as soon as the AI bubble pops which will pop btw. They will feel the shortage of cash.

Their year on year revenue have increased nearly 24%.
But their operating costs have also increased consistently.

Youtube is making $11 billion dollar. Soon it can take over Netflix. It's the only platform of theirs which is actually profitable and showing growth. Everything else is just shuffle of sheets. Many are surprised their AI isn't making any money here.

Many are betting big on Google. I mean sure they are leader in AI. But will it sustain?

Their AI learns directly from user content and heavily dependent on them. But as everybody they are trying to dry off the publishers by all these zero click non-sense. Now what will happen is that soon publishers will start blocking google. And their AI will feed from AI which will be garbage anyway.
Now some might argue that youngsters Gen Z will still prefer AI results. Yeah sure until something terrible happens. And it will happen, trust us. AI is majorly an auto-correct on steroids nothing more.
Then people will start leaving in hordes. And once it happens how do you think it's gonna impact their stock?

I mean look at their search. They are forcibly displaying wrong information their AI overviews so I had to skip all the AI generated filth & sponsored links to search for myself the correct info that I was looking for.
Now they wants to make the standard with no actual links to the real sites. I mean it is insanity.
