Extended read
Alphabet is facing a dual challenge: maintaining its competitive edge in generative AI while managing unprecedented capital expenditures. Reports that Gemini 3.5 Pro is behind schedule suggest that the company's massive investments have yet to yield a definitive lead over peers like OpenAI or Microsoft. The $180-190 billion capex commitment represents a significant portion of cash flow, making the stock sensitive to any perceived delays in AI monetization or product efficacy.
