Alphabet Closes in on Nvidia’s Spot as World’s Biggest Company
Google Cloud revenue jumped 63% in the first quarter, helping Alphabet close in on Nvidia as investors bet its AI spending will pay off.
- On Tuesday, Alphabet approached Nvidia as the world's most valuable company, with a market cap of $4.67 trillion compared to Nvidia's $4.79 trillion, fueled by a record stock rally.
- Google Cloud revenue surged 63 per cent in the first quarter, the highest rate since 2020, stunning Wall Street with evidence that Alphabet's massive AI spending will generate returns.
- Deepening its AI focus, Google committed $10 billion to Anthropic at a $350 billion valuation, potentially investing $30 billion more if performance targets are met. Amazon separately announced a $25 billion investment.
- Alphabet stock trades at around 29 times forward earnings, surpassing its five-year average of 22 and exceeding the S&P 500's valuation of around 21 times forward earnings.
- Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist at Hightower Advisors, said growth stems from hyperscaler capex spending and better monetization across the AI "food chain," which includes data centers, grid, and power.
