Alphabet's Search Monopoly Remains Unshakeable Despite AI Hype

  • Alphabet Inc. is undervalued as search remains highly sticky, with significant user switching costs and dominant market share unlikely to erode quickly. AI competition fears are overstated; Alphabet's Gemini and proprietary TPUs provide a cost and performance edge, supporting future growth and monetization. Antitrust risks are manageable, with forced divestitures unlikely and probable remedies having limited impact on Alphabet's core business or profitability.
