🚀 AI Power Play: Meta vs Google — Who Rules the Mag 7?
Latest Moves
• $Alphabet(GOOG)$
• $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ : In advanced talks to invest US $14.8 b for a 49 % stake in Scale AI, securing premium data pipelines and top-tier talent.
Why It Matters
• Every 1-ppt uptick in Google Cloud’s margin adds ~US $4 b to Alphabet’s operating profit.
• Meta's 4 m+ advertisers crave sharper targeting; even a modest lift in ad ROI could unlock billions in incremental spend.
Don't Forget the Arms Dealer
• Nvidia (NVDA) still supplies ~80 % of AI accelerator chips—owning the “picks-and-shovels” that both hyperscalers need.
Numbers to Track This Earnings Season
• Alphabet Cloud revenue growth > 25 % YoY — bullish signal.
• Meta 2025 capex guide > US $40 b — confirms aggressive AI build-out.
• Nvidia GPU lead-times shrinking — could tilt pricing power back to hyperscalers.
Playbook Snapshot
• Momentum trade: Overweight GOOG on fresh Cloud wins.
• Value pick: Accumulate META at ~22× forward P/E with an AI monetisation kicker.
• Core hedge: Hold NVDA as universal supplier across the stack.
