Down 21%, Google Stock May Drop More After Ad Tech Antitrust Trial

I upgrade Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) from "Hold" to "Buy" due to attractive valuation and potentially overblown market pessimism on low ROI on AI investments and antitrust trials risk. I believe the antitrust case and concerns over AI-related capital expenditures are key factors driving Google's stock downward, but risks seem already priced in. Google's recent financial performance shows strong advertising revenue growth and effective cost control. The significant investments in AI and cloud infrastructure are necessary things to compete in the long run.
