Alphabet Stock Nears $387 as Motley Fool Favors It Over Tesla on Cloud Boom
Alphabet shares have rallied to $386.63, with Motley Fool urging investors to buy over Tesla amid soaring revenue and AI-driven cloud dominance. From a March dip near $300 on capex fears, the stock surged over 30% through TPU v8 launches, partnerships, and blockbuster Q1 earnings on April 29-30 delivering 22% revenue growth to $109.9B, Google Cloud up 63% to $20B, and backlog doubling to $460B. Wall Street hiked targets to $460 with Strong Buy consensus, though $190B capex guidance sparks FCF concerns; Zacks and others reaffirm long-term momentum.
