Don't overthink it

Investors shouldn't overthink the situation. The market is presenting investors with the opportunity to buy one of the world's elite businesses at a reasonable valuation. The stock currently trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 23.3. For comparison's sake, this is slightly more expensive than the S&P 500 index's multiple of 21.8.

Alphabet's best qualities

Alphabet is a high-quality company, so the premium to the overall market is more than justified.

It has a leadership position in the artificial intelligence (AI) race. Alphabet is involved in AI research, while also developing its own AI chips, operating a thriving cloud computing platform that serves AI tools and services, and running insanely popular AI-powered user-facing apps.

The business has a wide economic moat, underscored by network effects and its ability to collect and leverage data. And it's incredibly profitable, posting a stellar operating margin of 32% in the second quarter (ended June 30).

Investors should seriously consider buying $10,000 worth of Alphabet stock in 2025. It should be a lucrative bet over the next five years.
