Additional Reading from MarketBeat Media Is Alphabet a Buy After Its Blowout Earnings?Written by Ryan Hasson. Published 11/4/2025. 
Key Points - Alphabet recently delivered a blowout Q3, surpassing $100 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time and beating expectations across the board.
- Shares are up roughly 50% year to date, with momentum turning Alphabet from a first-half laggard into a market-leading AI powerhouse.
- Despite strong fundamentals, the stock appears extended in the short term, and a pullback toward support could offer a better entry point for investors.
Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) just reasserted its dominance in tech and AI after delivering one of its strongest quarters in company history. The third-quarter earnings smashed expectations across every major division and reaffirmed that Alphabet is not simply keeping pace in the AI race; it is leading it. The result has been equally impressive for shareholders. The $3.4 trillion technology giant has surged roughly 50% year-to-date coming into this week, transforming from a first-half laggard into one of the market's most powerful leaders. The world's wealthiest individuals are making huge moves with their money.
Warren Buffett just liquidated billions of shares. Bill Gates sold 500,000 shares of Microsoft. Jeff Bezos filed to sell Amazon shares worth $4.8 billion.
What is going on? One multi-millionaire believes they are preparing for a catastrophic event. But not a crash, bank run, or recession. It's something we haven't see in America for more than a century. For the full story, click here. That raises the natural question: after such a strong run and a massive earnings beat, is Alphabet still a buy at current prices, or should investors wait for a better entry point? Earnings Blowout Across the Board Alphabet's latest report left little room for anything but optimism. For the first time, the company posted quarterly revenue above $100 billion, a milestone that underscores how quickly its AI-first strategy is translating into measurable financial acceleration. Alphabet generated $102.35 billion in Q3 revenue, easily topping analyst estimates of $99.9 billion. Net income surged to $34.97 billion, up sharply from $26.3 billion a year ago. Earnings per share beat expectations by $0.58 per share. The growth was broad and convincing. Google Search posted $56.56 billion in revenue, up 15% year-over-year (YOY). YouTube delivered $10.26 billion, once again beating Wall Street's forecasts. Advertising remains the foundation of Alphabet's business, contributing more than $74 billion in the quarter and reinforcing that digital ad demand remains strong. After a turbulent first half in which regulatory pressure and fears of competitive AI weighed on sentiment, Alphabet has now turned those concerns into competitive advantages. Google Cloud Continues to Accelerate The true standout continues to be Google Cloud. Revenue climbed to $15.15 billion, up 35% YOY, while the division's backlog swelled to $155 billion. Executives emphasized that AI-driven demand is a major contributor, noting Alphabet has signed more billion-dollar cloud deals this year than in the previous two years combined. With momentum building, Alphabet raised its capital expenditure targets for 2025 to a range of $91 billion to $93 billion, up from its prior estimate of $85 billion. The additional investment will expand data centers and advance semiconductor development — a clear signal the company is preparing for the next stage of global AI adoption. The message is simple: Alphabet is doubling down on growth because it sees demand accelerating, not plateauing. Valuation, Technical Setup, and Best Buy Levels The fundamental setup looks exceptional, though the chart suggests the stock may have gotten ahead of itself in the short term. Since breaking out above the $220 level in September, Alphabet has gone nearly vertical, pushing its RSI into the high 70s as of Monday's close. While nothing in the current trend appears weak or exhausted, a pullback toward prior resistance and the 20-day SMA near $260 could offer a better risk-to-reward entry. Throughout much of the prior quarter, each correction into higher-timeframe support created strong buying opportunities, and the same playbook may still apply. Fundamentally, the stock is firing on all cylinders; technically, a brief reset could present value before the next leg higher. A Dominant Force in the Market In the short term, Alphabet might benefit from a cooldown or modest pullback. Over the longer term, it is hard to argue the stock is anything but a potential winner. For investors on the sidelines, patience may provide a better entry, but missing this momentum entirely could prove costly. Alphabet remains one of the market's most dominant forces, and its latest results make that case hard to dispute.
