Google said it will make further tweaks to its European search results after hotels, airlines and small retailers complained that direct booking clicks fell almost a third due to recent search engine changes.  Under European Union rules that came in last year, the Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) company is not meant to favour its products and services over others.

Billionaire Bill Ackman Has 15% of His Portfolio in This Magnificent Stock: Time to Buy?

Google faces antitrust pressure from the DOJ, which last week proposed a break-up of its Search, Chrome, and Android businesses, causing shares to slide 5% lower. Despite legal challenges, I remain optimistic about Google's continued dominance in digital advertising and Cloud, recommending investors buy the dip. Search remains absolutely essential to Google's data-driven business, and a forced sale seems unlikely.

Alphabet's wide moat, driven by Google Search, YouTube, and Google Cloud, supports its strong economic position and future growth potential despite market volatility. GOOGL's valuation appears attractive, with a 20% upside based on a DCF model and about 13% undervaluation compared to five-year averages. DOJ's proposed remedies introduce high uncertainty, potentially impacting Google Search revenues and market share, warranting a cautious investment approach.

Google investors were hit last week as the market reacted negatively to the DoJ's "radical and sweeping" proposals to unwind Google's dominance. Google's core business remains robust, driven by growth in Google Cloud, YouTube monetization, and Generative AI integration. Google's valuation is not excessive, suggesting that pessimism is already priced into the stock.

Google: Buying Opportunity Knocking On The Front Door

Welcome back to Week in Review. This week, we're exploring the DOJ telling Google to sell off Chrome to break up its monopoly, OpenAI accidentally deleting potential evidence in The New York Times' copyright lawsuit against it, and how AI companies are using TikTok brainrot for study tools.

DOJ tells Google to sell Chrome

Google's current share price presents a solid investment opportunity, as they are trading at a substantial discount to peers. The DOJ's claims against Chrome are weak; Chrome's market dominance doesn't equate to monopolistic behavior, and banning default search engine payments could potentially benefit Google's margins. OpenAI's potential browser launch poses a risk, but Google's resilience and brand loyalty offer confidence in defending its competitive position.
