The company’s forward price-to-earnings ratio stands at 24x, with a PEG ratio of 2.0, indicating a cautious market outlook even amid strong growth in the AI domain.

Looking ahead, Alphabet plans to double its capital expense budget by 2026 to support Google Cloud’s growth, with its operating margin nearly doubling from 17.5% to 29.9% over the last year.
