"Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) Defies Market Trends, Nears All-Time Highs"

Alphabet's stock (GOOGL) is defying the broader tech sector's downturn, highlighted as a stock to watch by IBD due to its resilience and potential buy point. The company's recent growth can be attributed to its advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly with the launch of its AI product, Gemini, and the integration of AI in its digital ads business. Despite a hiccup in cloud services revenue, Google's strong third-quarter results and high ratings from Investor's Business Daily, with a Composite Rating of 96 and an EPS Rating of 97, have contributed to its stock's stability. The stock is also supported by significant mutual fund and ETF ownership.
