Despite concerns about ChatGPT and generative AI competition, they value Google’s incumbent search position, YouTube ownership, and Waymo’s self-driving potential. Middle Coast highlights Alphabet’s reduced exposure to tariff issues compared to Apple or Amazon, and suggests that regulatory pressure could actually benefit shareholders through valuable spin-offs like YouTube as independent companies.
