Executive summary

Alphabet is the parent company of Google and several other businesses. Its main source of revenue is advertising shown on Google Search, YouTube and a network of partner sites. It also earns money from cloud computing and data services, subscriptions, app store sales and hardware devices. Other Bets, such as the self-driving unit Waymo, are earlier stage ventures that contribute little revenue and absorb considerable investment.

The company reported trailing revenue of $445.9 billion and three-year growth of 12.5% a year. Profitability figures show an operating margin of 33.1% and a return on invested capital of 23%. On leverage, net debt to EBITDA is -0.8 times, so cash exceeds debt. The dividend yield is 0.3%. Taken together, these numbers give a factual snapshot of the business.

StocksXray gives Alphabet Inc. an X-Ray Score of 52 out of 100 (high confidence), ahead of 50% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is financial health (77) and its weakest is valuation (30).

Our fair value blend is $294.48 (range $275.98 to $315.84). At $336.91 the stock trades 14% above that blend, so the label is "Fair" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
