Alphabet briefly crossed a $4 trillion market cap following news of its AI partnership with Apple. The deal puts Google’s Gemini models directly into Apple’s ecosystem, which is a pretty significant distribution win given Apple’s user base.
From a stock perspective, I’m curious how much of this is already priced in. Alphabet has been on a strong run over the past year, driven by AI optimism, ad recovery, and cloud growth. At $4T, expectations are obviously very high.
Some things I’m thinking about:
* Does this partnership materially change Alphabet’s long-term revenue outlook, or is it more strategic positioning?
* Is this mainly a sentiment boost, or could it lead to measurable earnings impact?
* At this valuation, do you see Alphabet as still investable, or more of a hold from here?

Curious how others here are viewing GOOGL at these levels.
