Alphabet has a presence in all phases of AI development<\/p>\n
Any investor who wants AI exposure needs to take a closer look at Alphabet (GOOGL<\/a> +0.67%) (GOOG<\/a> +0.75%). It has long been a dominant force in the internet age and\u00a0is poised to be a leader in the AI age. It has a presence in AI research, chip development, and cloud computing (with its Google Cloud Platform). <\/p>\n What’s more, Alphabet’s Gemini large language models (LLMs)<\/a> support an app that has 650 million monthly active users. The company’s numerous platforms, like Search, YouTube, and Gmail, among others, integrate AI-powered tools to improve the user experience. In addition, AI helps Alphabet boost outcomes for its advertising customers.<\/p>\n Today’s Change<\/p>\n (0.67%) $2.24<\/p>\n Current Price<\/p>\n $338.25<\/p>\n Key Data Points<\/p>\n Market Cap<\/p>\n $4.1T<\/p>\n Day’s Range<\/p>\n $326.54 – $342.29<\/p>\n 52wk Range<\/p>\n $140.53 – $342.29<\/p>\n Volume<\/p>\n 31K<\/p>\n Avg Vol<\/p>\n 36M<\/p>\n Gross Margin<\/p>\n 59.18%<\/p>\n Dividend Yield<\/p>\n 0.25%<\/p>\n The valuation isn’t expensive<\/p>\n It’s a good idea if investors act with a sense of urgency. Alphabet shares currently trade at a forward price-to-earnings ratio<\/a> of 29.3. I don’t view this as being an expensive valuation, especially when you understand that the company posts double-digit earnings growth on a consistent basis.<\/p>\n Neil Patel<\/a> has no position in any of the stocks mentioned.
