Could a Breakup Unleash New Value for Alphabet?

Analysts from D.A. Davidson believe that Alphabet’s complex conglomerate structure might prevent its various units, including Cloud, YouTube, and Waymo, from realizing their true valuations. Currently, all divisions trade under a uniform earnings multiple of 16, which obscures their individual worth.

• Potential Standalone Valuation: Analysts estimate that breaking up could enhance the per-share value to $243 initially and potentially as high as $300 through broader TPU commercialization.

• Valuation Gap: While search is valued at around 16 times earnings, cloud computing peers enjoy multiples closer to 25 times, indicating significant undervaluation.

• Full Spin-Out Required: Analysts assert that only a complete separation will unlock the hidden value; mere asset sales would not suffice.

AI Tailwinds Boost NVIDIA and AMD Price Targets

Bank of America has raised its growth forecasts for NVIDIA (NVDA) and AMD (AMD), pegging their new price targets at $160 and $130 respectively. This adjustment comes in light of promising multi-year agreements regarding sovereign AI projects, which could yield annual revenues of $3 to $5 billion from each vendor.

• NVIDIA: The company plans to deploy 18,000 Blackwell GPUs, valued at approximately $700 million, in Phase 1; expansions could involve hundreds of thousands more over the next five years.

• AMD: Revenue from CPU, GPU, and ROCm software is anticipated to ramp up by 2026 under similar agreements.
