Investing.com - TD Cowen has reiterated its Buy rating and $195.00 price target on Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), highlighting the recent broad rollout of AI Mode as a potential engagement driver for the $2.12 trillion search giant. According to InvestingPro data, the stock appears undervalued at current levels, with analysts maintaining a Strong Buy consensus.
The research firm expects AI Mode will keep users on Google longer during search sessions, potentially reducing visits to third-party publishers for informational queries, while product-related searches should remain largely unaffected in the near term.
TD Cowen views Google Search as well-positioned in the current macroeconomic environment despite threats from chatbots, predicting its direct response advertising business will perform strongly through 2025 amid a resilient U.S. consumer.
Alphabet shares are down 8% year-to-date compared to the S&P 500's 6% gain, trading at 15.4x P/E excluding cash, 9.7x EV/EBITDA, and a 5.1% free cash flow yield based on TD Cowen's 2026 estimates.
The firm forecasts Alphabet will achieve a 10% total revenue CAGR and 14% EBITDA CAGR from 2025 to 2030, citing the company's market-leading advertising business, scaled consumer digital platforms, and strong Cloud growth profile.
