Scott Galloway Sees Buying Opportunity in Alphabet
Yahoo Finance ·
NYU Stern professor Scott Galloway acknowledges that artificial intelligence poses an existential risk to Google Search, yet he still views Alphabet shares as an attractive entry point. On October 29, Alphabet shares tumbled 12% following its third-quarter earnings report, marking the worst daily performance since its 2004 initial public offering. When evaluated using normalized earnings to strip out private equity gains, the stock trades at 20x forward earnings, sitting below its five-year historical average of 23x. Meanwhile, total revenue expanded 25%, bolstered by exceptional momentum in the cloud division, suggesting robust underlying fundamentals despite near-term headwinds in search monetization.

Alphabet plummeted 12% following its Q3 earnings release, marking its worst day since its 2004 IPO. Scott Galloway warned that AI poses a threat to Google Search, but evaluated it as a buying opportunity based on a forward valuation of around 20x and 25% revenue growth. Investors should carefully monitor the high growth of the cloud segment and the impact of AI infrastructure investment costs on future profitability.
상승 영향
- AI — Google Cloud revenue surged 103% and operating margin rose to 36.2%, proving that AI-related infrastructure demand is driving actual earnings growth.
하락 영향
- Growth Stocks — Alphabet's Q3 free cash flow recorded negative 9.1 billion dollars, and massive capital expenditures and bond issuances continued, raising concerns over investment cost burdens across big tech.
DYAX 전담 분석
Alphabet shares suffered a major shock with a 12% plunge on the day of its Q3 earnings release, but valuation appeal is emerging as the normalized price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio recorded around 20x, falling below the 5-year average of 23x. While Google Cloud revenue surged 103% to establish itself as a new revenue source, sluggish monetization of AI modes and massive capital expenditures (Capex) are acting as factors expanding short-term stock price volatility.
The bullish scenario is the continuous margin improvement of the cloud and the proof of defensive power in the search business, while the bearish scenario is the damage to search ad profitability due to intensifying AI competition and excessive debt issuance. Future 2027 Capex guidance and quarterly cloud margin trends must be monitored as key indicators.
