What Happened?
Alphabet (GOOGL) stock climbed on Tuesday after Citi raised its price target and bumped up Q1 estimates ahead of earnings due April 29.
- Analyst Ronald Josey raised his price target to $405 from $390, while maintaining a Buy rating.
- He now expects Q1 revenue and profit to come in above Wall Street’s current forecasts.
- Specifically, Citi projects search revenue growth of 16.5% year-over-year and cloud revenue growth of 57.5% for the quarter.
- That cloud number is the headline. Alphabet’s Google Cloud has been accelerating fast.
- In Q4, cloud revenue grew 48% to $17.7 billion, with operating margin jumping from 17.5% to 30.1% in just one year.
- A backlog of $240 billion — up 55% in a single quarter — signals there’s plenty of growth still ahead.
The AI integration story is also gaining traction. Over 120,000 enterprises now use Gemini, including major SaaS companies like Salesforce and Shopify.
Search is holding up too, with AI Mode queries doubling since launch and users engaging in longer, more complex sessions.
Josey also flagged upcoming catalysts. Google Cloud Next in late April and Google I/O in May could both move Alphabet stock if the company rolls out new AI announcements.
Alphabet is planning $175–$185 billion in CapEx for 2026, with most of that spending weighted toward the second half of the year.

What the Market Is Telling Us About Alphabet Stock
Alphabet stock is very close to its 52-week high, even as the underlying business continues to post strong results.
That gap between performance and price is part of what makes Citi’s upgrade interesting. The stock has been dragged down by broader tech weakness and antitrust concerns, not a deterioration in fundamentals.
With Q1 earnings three weeks away and two major conferences on the horizon, there are several near-term opportunities for Alphabet stock to recover ground.
