$Alphabet(GOOGL.US) Back in June, Alphabet sold $10 billion in newly issued common stock to Berkshire Hathaway at a price of roughly $350 per share. That happened after Berkshire's open-market purchases in late 2025, & now has a total investment in Alphabet of $30 billion, making it quickly its 3rd or 4th largest position. Google Cloud revenue grew at an astonishing 82% year-over-year last quarter, reaching $24 billion with an operating income of $8.8 billion. This was a business with little revenue 10 years ago that was hemorrhaging cash, but Alphabet had the vision that it could deliver massive gains due to the tailwinds in cloud computing and AI, and it is beginning to deliver. Overall, Alphabet's Google Services revenue grew 15% year over year to $94.5 billion in the recent quarter. Despite fears that AI services like ChatGPT or Claude would dethrone Google, the business is still growing revenue at a double-digit rate. Services like Gemini -- Alphabet's direct competitor to ChatGPT -- are also growing quickly, with 950 million monthly active users last quarter. @Captain's Treasure
