Alphabet Momentum Surges as Berkshire’s Bet $5 billion stake

220
Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) closed at $299.65 on Friday and briefly pushed above $302 in after-hours trading, extending its strong 2025 rally. The momentum accelerated after Berkshire Hathaway revealed a new $5 billion stake, making Alphabet one of its largest U.S. holdings. The move reinforces investor conviction in Alphabet’s long-term AI roadmap, especially as capital expenditures surge.

Alphabet’s Q3 earnings on Oct. 29 highlighted the company’s powerful growth engine. Revenue rose 16% year over year to $102.3 billion, while net income increased 33% to $35 billion. EPS jumped 35% to $2.87 as operating efficiency improved across Google Services and Cloud.

Google Cloud delivered another breakthrough quarter, generating 34% growth and $15.2 billion in revenue. The segment continues to benefit from rising AI workloads and enterprise adoption. YouTube and Search also outperformed, driving strong ad-based revenue expansion.

Capital expenditures remain a key theme. Alphabet raised its 2025 CAPEX outlook twice, now guiding for $91–$93 billion, driven by AI chips, new data centers, and expanded compute clusters. Despite heavy investment, free cash flow remains exceptionally strong at $73.6B over the last 12 months.

Berkshire’s Vote of Confidence

Berkshire’s acquisition of 17.9 million GOOG shares signals deep belief in Alphabet’s AI dominance and multi-segment strength. With nearly $100B in cash and consistent double-digit revenue growth, Alphabet remains one of the most financially resilient companies in big tech.

Technical Outlook

GOOG has been strongly bullish since the April low at $140. The stock also broke through an ascending-trendline resistance in August and continues to climb toward new all-time highs. As long as price stays above this breakout zone, bullish continuation remains likely.
