Wall Street analysts say Google is a good investment. It's the market leader and has a high reliability rating. Its stock has long-term growth potential.
On most timeframes, popular technical analysis indicators give a buy signal. For example, on the D1 chart:
The RSI stands at 60, indicating that the stock is far from being overbought;
The value of the MACD(12,26) is 0.77;
The price is above the MA200.
These factors point to a bullish trend. There are reasons to expect its continuation in the coming month. Prices are at historical highs (taking into account the split).

Google stock is expected to do well in the long term. This is because the stock market is growing and the company is successful.
Alphabet is expected to:
Google is still the top search engine, with over 90% of the market.
Bard chatbot development will help it beat competitors like Bing.
Google Cloud, AI, and machine learning.
Google should focus on maintaining its leadership in search and implementing AI. If it succeeds, Google stock could be a good investment.
Experts accord Google's stock will be worth more in 10 years. For example:
Trades Union predicts that Class A stocks will be quoted around $412-$422;
The Stockraven platform predicts a rise in value to $445.
The Coinpriceforecast service says the price will be between $477 and $489.
Analysts say the asset will appreciate 2-2.5 times over the next 10 years. This could mean a good yield even if there are no dividends.
BeatMarket experts also give a bullish forecast. We expect that by 2034 Google's quotations will securely fix above $400. It is possible to test the $500 threshold.
Analysts think Google quotes will grow a lot by 2030. Coincodex says they'll be worth $471. Coinpriceforecast says $400-$408. The lowest estimate is offered by Stockraven service. Its target price is only $320.
Stocks will be worth more in 2030 because of these factors:
AI development successes;
increased advertising revenue;
new services.
BeatMarket experts think the price will be between $400 and $410. We don't think it will be less than that. If the stock market is doing well, it could go up to $450 or $500.
Long-term forecasts based on extrapolation of past data point to growth of quotations. Analysts believe that Alphabet will be able to maintain its leading position in the industry.
Long-term stock price prediction is unreliable. Experts name the following range of quotations as the most probable:
minimum price — $318;
average price — $600-$700;
maximum price — $1536.
Analysts use different forecasting models and estimate the prospects of the stock market and technology companies differently.
According to our prediction, the $700-$800 range is the most probable. This corresponds to an increase of up to 460% relative to the current price.
Experts agree that Google's stock will be more expensive in 2050 than it is today. The company's own business successes will contribute to this. It is expected to grow revenue by developing new industries and maintain its current market share.
According to Coincodex, Google's stock is expected to be worth more in 2050 than it is today:
$1,199 - with an ROI of 8.32% per year (this is the average since the IPO);
$2,393 - when the quotes go up with the S&P500 index return;
$6,321 when the growth rate is 15.2% per year (this is the result of QTEC, an ETF that includes stocks of technology companies).
Google was founded in 1996. It went public in 2004 on the NASDAQ exchange. Class A stocks were offered during the IPO. Class C stocks became available in 2014. Class B stocks are not publicly traded. In 2015, Google was reorganized into Alphabet.
Google is a tech company. The basis of the business is making money from selling ads on Google pages and other resources. It also has other businesses. For example, it has bought a company that makes fitness trackers and a company that makes information security products. This should provide diversification in the future.
The company doesn't pay dividends. It uses all its revenue to invest in and develop the business.
Year 2008
From November 2007 to November 2008, prices fell by 56%. This was caused by the global financial crisis.
Years 2021-2022
In fall 2021, the bullish trend ended. By December 2022. The quotations went into a bearish phase and the value of Class A stocks fell below $90.
Year 2024
The highest price was in spring. On April 26, it was $171.95. This is the latest price at the time of writing.
Quotes movement depends on market expectations. The stock price increases when the revenue forecast is positive. When a company issues a weak report or is expected to reduce earnings in the future, the value falls.
If the company breaks the rules, it could be fined. New anti-monopoly laws could mean less market share. Bad news about the company could make its shares worth less.
Stocks rise and fall with the economy and interest rates. When the economy is growing and interest rates are low, stocks do well. But in periods when there's a crisis, investors move into other assets, which leads to falling stock prices.
The quotes are near the historical highs, but the company is not overvalued. Technical analysis does not indicate overbought. Google's P/E multiple is not the highest on the US stock market.
The average forecast price for 2030 is $400-$410. Some analysts say it will be $500. The minimum is $320.
Google's stock could be worth more than $1,000 by 2040, but most analysts think this is unlikely until 2045-2050.
Experts' prediction is that the tech sector will grow at the same rate as in recent years, which could mean a $6,321 maximum by 2050.
According to tipranks.com, Google has an analyst rating of Buy in April 2024. That's a recommendation trend from 27 experts. Another 11 are advising to hold the stock.
Alphabet's revenue is growing steadily, and analysts' financial forecast is positive. The company has a high credit rating and is well-diversified. Google is considered one of the most reliable technology companies.
