Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) Chart to Watch for in February 2025
By: David Keller | February 7, 2025
• Our third chart highlights the reality of the Magnificent 7 stocks in early February, with more and more of these previous leadership names beginning to show clear signs of negativity. Earnings season has not been kind to companies like Alphabet, who, despite beating earnings estimates for the quarter, provided a less optimistic forward projection for future earnings growth.
GOOGL gapped lower on Wednesday after making a new all-time high into earnings on Tuesday. After initially finding support at the 50-day moving average, Alphabet broke below the 50-day on Friday's trading session. The gap lower this week also accentuated a bearish momentum divergence, with GOOGL's higher price highs in February marked by a decline in momentum. Higher prices and lower RSI are a common feature of a late stage bull market, when stocks are still moving higher but the momentum behind those gains has begun to wane.
While GOOGL still remains above an upward-sloping 200-day moving average, and still appears to be holding trendline support based on the September and November swing lows, this week's drop on forward guidance certainly has investors wondering where assets could flow if they're no longer supporting mega-cap growth stocks like GOOGL.

$GOOGL Short-term, price looks primed for a bounce, potentially testing $207...
By: Peter DiCarlo | February 6, 2025
• $GOOG Post Earnings Update
$GOOGL dropped 10% post-earnings and is now sitting at a liquidity zone around $190.
Short-term, price looks primed for a bounce, potentially testing $207.
However, zooming out to the weekly chart, (image 2) if the BX Trender closes with a lower high, it usually signals a pullback to weekly market bias, which would put our target around $180.
I’m not looking to short this setup—instead, I’ll stay patient and watch for price to return to market bias, where we typically see a bounce.

Alphabet (GOOGL) Stock Eyes Worst Day Since 2023 After Earnings
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | February 5, 2025
• The Big Tech giant reported a fourth-quarter revenue miss
• The company doubled down on its artificial intelligence (AI) investments
Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) stock is dragging Wall Street after the Big Tech giant reported a fourth-quarter revenue miss as its Google Cloud segment lagged. The company also revealed plans to invest $75 billion in capital expenditures this year to grow its artificial intelligence (AI) offerings, despite Chinese startup DeepSeek claiming it built an AI model at a substantially lower cost.
GOOGL is down 8.3% to trade at $189.36 at last check, pacing for its biggest single-day percentage loss since October 2023 as it pulls back from yesterday's all-time high of $207.05. The equity is testing a floor at the $188 level that has been in place since late December, with added support at its 60-day moving average set to contain additional losses.
No fewer than 11 analysts have cut their price targets, the lowest from Wells Fargo to $184 from $190. Options traders lean overwhelmingly bullish, however, with GOOGL's 50-day call/put ratio of 3.60 back at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) standing higher than 97% of annual readings.
Drilling down to today's options activity, 287,000 calls and 152,000 puts have crossed the tape, which is five times the volume typically seen at this point. The most active contract is the weekly 2/7 195-strike call, where new positions are currently being bought to open.

Alphabet Earnings Preview: AI-Powered Moves With Leveraged and Inverse ETFs
By: Barchart | January 31, 2025
Alphabet Inc.'s (GOOGL) Q4 2024 earnings report (February 4th after market close) comes amid an aggressive artificial intelligence (AI) expansion. Key areas of focus include AI integration across Search and Cloud platforms, YouTube's advertising momentum, and the recent Gemini model rollout. Investors will also watch for updates on cloud market share gains, Search monetization metrics, and the company's competitive position against Microsoft and Amazon in the AI race.
In addition to these core metrics, market participants are eyeing capital allocation strategies and the impact of AI investments on margins, particularly after last quarter's impressive 33.6% profit growth and continued market share gains in cloud services.
As a central player in the tech sector's AI transformation, GOOGL tends to see substantial volatility around earnings releases. For traders looking to position around these potential price swings, Direxion's Single Stock Daily Leveraged & Inverse ETFs offer specialized tools designed for short-term tactical trading.
What to Expect from Alphabet's Next Earnings Report
Analysts expect Alphabet to deliver earnings of $2.12 per share, representing a significant 29.3% increase from last year's $1.64. The company enters this report with strong momentum, having topped Wall Street's expectations in each of the past four quarters, including last quarter's 15.9% beat. Cloud revenue growth and AI adoption metrics remain key focus areas after the previous quarter's 15.1% total revenue growth to $88.3 billion.
October's Q3 results sparked a 2.8% stock gain as investors cheered the successful integration of AI features across core products and YouTube's milestone achievement of surpassing $50 billion in trailing twelve-month ad and subscription revenues.
Alphabet's Earnings Track Record
The tech giant has demonstrated consistent outperformance, with earnings surprises ranging from 2.50% to a remarkable 26.85% over the past four quarters. The stock's strong reaction to October's results highlighted investor confidence in Alphabet's AI execution, particularly the successful launch of new search features and cloud solutions. The company's 39.7% gain over the past 52 weeks has substantially outpaced both the S&P 500 and its sector peers.
Trading Tools for Alphabet's AI-Driven Momentum
Alphabet's leadership in the AI revolution creates compelling opportunities for short-term traders.

Initially celebrated for its groundbreaking speed and unmatched computational power, Willow suddenly became the center of mystery, speculation, and fear. Sources claim that scientists spotted something strange in its final data streams - anomalies that defied explanation. Then, an ethical hacker uncovered something even more chilling: a hidden vulnerability that could change everything we thought we knew about quantum computing and security. Was this an accident, or a glimpse into something far more dangerous?

GOOGL Forecast – Major Stocks Look to Move Higher in Premarket
By: Christopher Lewis | January 14, 2025
• GOOGL Technical Analysis
And finally, Alphabet, or Google, has a pretty flat open, just a few cents higher than the Monday session, but the Monday session was a perfect hammer off of a support level, and it looks like it’s trying to recover here and bounce back towards the top of the range, which I’m going to, for a lack of anything better to use, call $200. And that gives us an opportunity to see this market rise, build up pressure, and then perhaps eventually take off.
With the growth situation in the United States, it does make a certain amount of sense that we will continue to see the big stocks get bigger, although interest rates have been a bit of a concern. But at the end of the day, profits will make up for all of these fears.

Google to introduce AI Mode in search engine, rivaling chatbots
By: Investing | December 19, 2024
Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is planning to introduce an AI Mode to its search engine, a move that could rival existing AI chatbots, according to a report from The Information, citing sources. The new feature will resemble Google's own Gemini AI chatbot, which currently operates separately from the search engine. This development is expected to significantly increase Gemini's user base.
The introduction of AI Mode demonstrates Google's efforts to adapt its primary revenue source in the face of transformative chatbot services like ChatGPT and Perplexity. These services are changing how people find information, from shopping and travel suggestions to writing tips and recipe searches. Android Authority has previously reported on the planned addition of AI Mode to Google's search engine.
Software (ETR:SOWGn) code already integrated into Google's search app implies that AI Mode could enable users to interact with Google Search on their Android devices, similar to how they can communicate with Google Gemini or ChatGPT. Android Authority found similar code in Google’s Android app.
A spokesperson from Google stated that as their advanced models continue to improve, there is a significant opportunity to incorporate these new capabilities into Search, helping people discover even more of the web.
However, the introduction of AI Mode is not without risks. Google is currently anticipating penalties from a federal judge after being ruled as an illegal monopoly. The Department of Justice has indicated it may want to restrict Google's ability to leverage its search engine to outperform AI chatbot competitors, potentially hindering the implementation of new features like AI Mode.
Google could argue that its search engine has always been AI-powered, suggesting that the new changes are not substantial.
Users will be able to switch to AI Mode by clicking a tab located at the top of a results page. The new tab will be positioned to the left of other longstanding tabs such as All, Images, Videos, and Shopping.
Since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, Google has felt the pressure to innovate their products or launch new ones to counter the threat posed by AI chatbots. In response, Google launched Bard in March 2023, which was later renamed to Gemini and launched separately from search. In February, Google started promoting the Gemini chatbot in its Google mobile app. In May, it launched AI Overviews, a feature that initially faced backlash for producing inaccurate results that quickly spread on social media, leading Google to scale back the feature.
While ChatGPT hasn't seemingly affected Google Search's ad revenue, Google executives are preparing for such a possibility, particularly as OpenAI continues to promote its web-search capabilities. ChatGPT claims it has over 300 million weekly users. Google has not disclosed the number of Gemini chatbot users, but data from firms tracking chatbot usage show that ChatGPT is significantly ahead of its competitors. For example, Similarweb (NYSE:SMWB) reported that ChatGPT had nearly 14 times more visitors than Gemini in November.
