About: Alphabet is a holding company that wholly owns internet giant Google. The California-based company derives slightly less than 90% of its revenue from Google services, the vast majority of which is advertising sales. Alongside online ads, Google services houses sales stemming from Google's subscription services (YouTube TV, YouTube Music among others), platforms (sales and in-app purchases on Play Store), and devices (Chromebooks, Pixel smartphones, and smart home products such as Chromecast). Google's cloud computing platform, or GCP, accounts for roughly 10% of Alphabet's revenue with the firm's investments in up-and-coming technologies such as self-driving cars (Waymo), health (Verily), and internet access (Google Fiber) making up the rest.

Alphabet At The Crossroads: Legal Minefield Or Money Machine

In my opinion, Alphabet faces unprecedented antitrust risk, with a likely remedies ruling that could force divestitures and end exclusive deals. A harsh regulatory outcome could cause a 15-25% stock drop, but would unlock hidden value, with breakup estimates exceeding current market cap by 85%.
