Alphabet: The AI Leader Best Positioned to Dominate 2026

In 2025, Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) isn’t just holding its ground — it’s taking the lead in the AI race. According to a recent analysis, Alphabet’s newest AI model, Gemini 3, crushed performance benchmarks across math, coding, science, and multimodal reasoning, underlining the firm’s advantage thanks to its proprietary TPU hardware. Sentiment among investors has flipped: after a sluggish first half of 2025, enthusiasm surged following the Gemini 3 release and confirmation that Berkshire Hathaway had added Alphabet to its holdings. Financially, the turnaround is real. Alphabet delivered a blockbuster quarter with strong growth across Search, YouTube, Cloud, and subscription services. Cloud profitability expanded, ad revenue accelerated, and overall revenue hit record highs — the kind of breadth and scale that’s rare for a company of its size to re‑accelerate so aggressively. Looking toward 2026, many analysts view Alphabet as the obvious frontrunner in foundational AI and enterprise infrastructure. With vertical integration of AI hardware and software — plus growing cloud adoption — it’s increasingly difficult to see what could stop the company from setting the pace in this next wave. #Alphabet #AI #Gemini3 #TechStocks #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
