Latest US Stock Market News – $GOOGL shares climbed 2% on July 27, 2025, ahead of Q2 2025 earnings on July 31, driven by Google Cloud’s 20% growth and search advertising strength. Analysts project EPS of $1.85, up 8%, and revenue of $84.3 billion, per LSEG, with cloud revenue hitting $13.1 billion.
$GOOGL’s AI investments, including the Willow quantum chip and Gemini models, enhance its AI Stocks profile, competing with $MSFT. Tariff risks on data center hardware could raise costs, but $GOOGL’s $75 billion AI spend in 2025 mitigates concerns.
The stock, up 18% year-to-date, trades at a forward P/E of 19.8, below the tech sector’s 22, offering value. The market’s rally, with 86% S&P 500 earnings beats, supports gains. $AAPL’s use of Google Cloud for AI training ties $GOOGL to Consumer Tech and Semiconductors.
Investors should monitor earnings for AI monetization and tariff guidance, as regulatory scrutiny could weigh on sentiment. With $110 billion in cash, $GOOGL remains a stable tech stock for cloud and AI exposure in a volatile market.
