Alphabet has long been a leader in AI, and its early investments are paying off. The company is involved in many different areas of the AI value chain, from research at Google DeepMind and chip development (Tensor Processing Units) to its thriving Google Cloud segment and its numerous widely adopted user-facing platforms.
The business has a massive user base that gives it unmatched distribution. Network effects provide it with a durable moat. And it has different ways to monetize its AI capital expenditures, which number in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
Allocating $1,000 to the stock now would be a smart decision.
