Alphabet (GOOGL, Buy, $295 target) AI Search vs ChatGPT dominates, but Cloud beginning to push through

Ahead of earnings next Wednesday, we review the top controversies for the stock – starting with AI Search vs ChatGPT -- and how investor sentiment is evolving post DOJ Search remedies, including how Cloud and TPUs are increasingly supporting GOOGL’s “AI winner” narrative.

On the back of yesterday’s confirmation of an expanded relationship with Anthropic (and another Quantum breakthrough), we are raising our target to $295 from $275 on higher target multiples as we see Cloud increasingly supporting valuation.
