Alphabet - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts.

MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.

They were last updated on Monday, July 14, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these Alphabet pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Alphabet
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Google:

The current stock price is around $2,800, reflecting strong market confidence in Google's growth potential.
Google's diverse product offerings, including YouTube and Google Cloud, have shown significant revenue growth, indicating a robust business model.
Recent advancements in AI technology have positioned Google as a leader in the field, enhancing its competitive edge and attracting enterprise customers.
The Google Cloud segment continues to expand, providing essential services like cybersecurity and analytics, which are increasingly in demand by businesses.
Google's strong brand recognition and user base across various platforms ensure a steady stream of revenue from ads and subscriptions.

Alphabet
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Google for these reasons:

Regulatory scrutiny has increased, with potential antitrust actions that could impact Google's operations and profitability.
Competition in the cloud services market is intensifying, with other tech giants aggressively pursuing market share, which could affect Google's growth in this segment.
Recent changes in digital advertising policies may lead to reduced ad revenues, which are a significant part of Google's income.
Market volatility can affect stock performance, and any downturns in the tech sector could disproportionately impact Google.
Investors should be cautious of potential overvaluation, as high expectations may lead to stock price corrections if growth slows.
