Shares of Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL), Google’s parent company, are in high demand due to ad business strength and AI prospects.

In this article:

Alphabet’s search and ad businesses are industry leaders. Similarly, the company’s role in the generative AI boom is gaining momentum. All in all, this positions it for success now and in the future, which makes Big Money investors happy.

The business metrics are pleasing too. GOOGL’s first-quarter revenue jumped 15% year-over-year to $81 billion on the back of ad and cloud business increases. It also sports a 40% operating margin for its Google Services business and owns a 91% share of the global search market.

It’s no wonder GOOGL shares are up 11% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
