Google Stock: The Real Reason It’s Doubl...

Nicholas Rossolillo; Kasey Rossolillo
About this episode

The media narrative on Google (Alphabet) has flip-flopped again. Suddenly, Google TPUs are "killing" Nvidia, Gemini 3 is here, and the stock is soaring. But is AI dominance really the reason Google stock has doubled since April?<br>In this episode, we dig past the headlines to uncover the real catalyst behind Google’s recent stock performance—and it has less to do with the TPU vs. GPU debate and more to do with the clearing fog around major antitrust cases regarding Chrome and Android.<br>We also break down Alphabet’s massive $56B R&D spend, their aggressive AI data center CapEx, and why their impressive per-share profit growth makes them a potential "soft hedge" against Nvidia in your semiconductor portfolio. Plus, we touch on why Broadcom remains a key beneficiary of Google’s custom silicon build-out.<br>#GoogleStock #Alphabet #Nvidia #TPU #SemiConductors #ChipStockInvestor #AI #Antitrust #Broadcom<br>Join us on Discord with Semiconductor Insider, sign up on our website: www.chipstockinvestor.com/membership<br>Supercharge your analysis with AI!
