The alphabet can no longer be ignored. After its disappointing exit from Google’s parent company in March, the company will be back on the bullpen list of stocks to watch. Google’s Gemini dropped the name over concerns that it wasn’t progressing fast enough to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and because the Justice Department was trying to force a spinoff of Google’s Chrome browser and bar Google from paying large sums of money to club name Apple to be the default search engine in the iPhone maker’s Safari browser. But since then, Google has announced Gemini 3. Not only will this soon become the new standard that all other big language models will beat, it will also be completely developed and run on . The custom silicon was developed by Google in partnership with Clubholding Broadcom. The market is also starting to realize that the custom silicon used to run this model extremely efficiently is likely to be a new revenue stream, and Google is starting to take more interest in other companies’ chips. Additionally, after our exit, a court ruling in favor of Alphabet ruled that there was no need to spin off Chrome and that Google and Apple’s long-standing mutually beneficial partnership could continue. This was especially important given Apple’s clear intention to leverage third-party technology for its long-awaited Siri AI upgrade. This goes beyond having OpenAI’s ChatGPT answer complex queries for a full-fledged conversational digital assistant. Jim Cramer said Google is likely to be a better AI partner for Apple’s new Siri because of the search structure it already has in place. Furthermore, based on the numbers discussed in the latest funding round, OpenAI’s valuation is approaching $1 trillion. Jim was cautious about OpenAI’s ability to pay its roughly $1.4 trillion worth of pledges to fund data centers and buy AI chips. Given OpenAI’s big spending promises and its extreme cash burn, Gemini should be worth a lot more inside the automated teller machine that is Google. Conclusion It was clearly a mistake not to name names, but in hindsight it is a two-fold decision and it is a sin to allow that poor decision to thwart potential future gains when the facts have changed so dramatically. It’s not about where your inventory comes from, it’s about where it goes. We need to objectively analyze Alphabet’s future earnings potential, and we can’t allow a disappointing sale to cloud it.
