Strong cloud growth in recent earnings; Anthropic struggling with capacity due to demand; private capital is pouring into AI startups burning compute. This demand will flow directly to Google Cloud revenue, driving top-line growth and multiple expansion (forward P/E >40, price target $600). GOOG is a “safe bet” on the AI wave, with diversified AI assets (Cloud, TPUs, Gemini, Waymo, SpaceX stake) and strong competitive moats. AI bubble could deflate if private-market failures accelerate; competition from Microsoft Azure/AWS; regulatory headwinds; capital expenditure overhang.
