5 days ago

"Stock number four is Google. It’s not just a search engine but a powerhouse behind YouTube and massive AI investments, spending $85 billion to build future infrastructure. Cloud revenue grew over 35% last year, and the company benefits from strong cash flow and a 3% dividend.

The speaker reviews Google’s robust fundamentals driven by diverse revenue streams and aggressive AI investments, while cautioning that regulatory issues and high spending could affect its margins. The commentary provides investors with balanced considerations for a long-term investment in a market leader.
