Alphabet (GOOGL) Stock Pullback Seen as Buying Opportunity Amid Waymo Growth
Alphabet's stock dipped 2.3% this week amid broad market weakness, yet maintains a 4% year-to-date gain. The pullback reflects macroeconomic risk appetite rather than company fundamentals, with analysts viewing it as an entry point.
Waymo emerges as a key growth driver. The autonomous vehicle subsidiary, spun out from Google X in 2016, is gaining traction across U.S. markets. While Tesla dominates robotaxis, Waymo's expanding operations could significantly boost Alphabet's valuation if adoption accelerates.
