To The Moon

Alphabet dropped 30% from its peak this year — but has since rebounded nearly 20% over the past month. Some savvy investors didn’t just hold on — they capitalized on the dip, especially with options.

Here are some highlights from our community:

🎉 Huge congrats to @Blackpirate for locking in $3158 in profits by sell a $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ put.

🎉 Huge congrats to @rainer0707 for securing 447% returns by buying a $Alphabet(GOOG)$ call.

💡 A quick options refresher:

• Sell Put: Ideal if you're comfortable buying the stock at the strike price or believe it won’t fall below that level.

• Buy Call: Use leverage to amplify gains when you expect a strong rebound.

Google Search: In Trouble or Golden Dip?

Alphabet’s recent stock dip was driven by:

• Antitrust risks

• Heavy AI investment concerns

• Rising competition

• Rumors of Apple exploring alternative search engines

In fact, investors reacted sharply after Apple exec Eddy Cue raised concerns over declining Safari search volume — a first in 20 years. He also hinted at AI-powered search features in future Safari updates. The result? Alphabet stock plunged nearly 10% in a day.

There’s no doubt that AI is the biggest threat to Google’s core search business. ChatGPT’s user base has doubled in just a few months, highlighting this shift.

But here’s the bullish case:

Despite these headwinds, Alphabet is trading at just 19x earnings and a forward P/E of 17.68 — well below the tech sector average and even the S&P 500. For context, its 10-year average P/E is closer to 30x.

In other words, much of the bad news is already priced in.

Among the Magnificent Seven, Alphabet stands out as one of the most reasonably valued names — especially considering its position in the AI race.

Google Search is still one of the largest data repositories in the world. Its vertically integrated AI infrastructure gives it a unique edge — and the company is doubling down on investments to retain its leadership.

So, when it comes to the Magnificent Seven…
