GOOGL Stock On Fire: Up 8% With 6-Day Winning Streak

Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) stock has been on a strong upward trajectory, logging its sixth consecutive day of gains. Over this six-day period, the stock has delivered a cumulative return of 8%, adding approximately $242 billion to the company’s value and bringing its current market capitalization to about $3.1 trillion.

This impressive performance has been driven by a wave of positive news related to Artificial Intelligence (AI), including significant AI infrastructure investments, the integration of new AI products, and key advancements in AI research.

Year-to-date, GOOGL stock is now 36.0% above its value at the end of 2024, substantially outperforming the S&P 500, which has returned 14.5% over the same period.

Given the strength of this rally, the question for investors remains: Is GOOGL, which offers diverse products and services (including ads, Android, Chrome, hardware, cloud solutions, health technology, and internet services), still a buy, or is it time to lock in recent gains? Deep dive with Buy or Sell GOOGL.

GOOGL stock has jumped meaningfully recently, and we currently find it relatively expensive. While this may feel like an opportunity, there is a significant risk in relying on a single stock. On the other hand, there is a huge value to a broader diversified approach we take with the Trefis High Quality Portfolio. We go beyond just equities. Is a portfolio of 10% commodities, 10% gold, and 2% crypto in addition to equities and bonds – likely to return more during the next 1-3 years, and protect you better if markets crash 20%?

What is the point? Momentum often precedes conviction. A multi-day win streak can signal growing investor confidence or spark follow-on buying. Tracking such trends can help you ride the strength, or prepare for a well-timed entry if momentum fades.

Gains and Losses Streaks: S&P 500 Constituents

There are currently 69 S&P constituents with 3 days or more of consecutive gains and 16 constituents with 3 days or more of consecutive losses.

While GOOGL stock looks attractive given its winning streak, investing in a single stock without a detailed, thorough analysis can be risky. Consider the Trefis Reinforced Value (RV) Portfolio, which has outperformed its all-cap stocks benchmark (combination of the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 benchmark indices) to produce strong returns for investors. Why is that? The quarterly rebalanced mix of large-, mid-, and small-cap RV Portfolio stocks provided a responsive way to make the most of upbeat market conditions while limiting losses when markets head south, as detailed in RV Portfolio performance metrics.
