MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Alphabet
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Google:

The current stock price is around $140, reflecting strong market confidence in Google's diverse revenue streams.
Google's robust advertising business continues to thrive, driven by increased digital ad spending globally, which is a significant portion of its revenue.
The Google Cloud segment has shown impressive growth, with a rising demand for cloud services and AI solutions, positioning Google as a key player in the tech industry.
Innovations in products like YouTube and Google Workspace enhance user engagement and retention, contributing to long-term revenue stability.
Google's commitment to sustainability and investments in healthcare-related services through its Other Bets segment may open new revenue opportunities in emerging markets.

Alphabet
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Google for these reasons:

Increased regulatory scrutiny and potential antitrust actions could impact Google's operations and profitability.
Competition in the cloud services market is intensifying, with rivals like Amazon and Microsoft gaining market share, which may affect Google's growth prospects.
Fluctuations in advertising budgets, especially during economic downturns, could negatively impact Google's primary revenue source.
Concerns over data privacy and security may lead to reputational risks and potential legal challenges for Google.
Market volatility and economic uncertainties could lead to fluctuations in stock performance, making it a riskier investment in the short term.
