Alphabet Stock Rises Modestly as Analysts Affirm GOOG as Long-Term Buy on AI and Cloud Strength

Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) shares rose modestly as analysts reaffirmed a bullish long-term outlook, citing strength in AI and Google Cloud, despite significant planned capital expenditures for AI infrastructure in 2026. The company’s strong Q4 2025 results, with notable revenue growth in Google Cloud and ongoing funding from Search advertising, support analyst price targets predicting 16% to 24% upside. While aggressive spending plans initially caused caution, experts view it as a necessary investment for competitive advantage and sustained leadership in the AI and cloud markets.
