We're buying more of this leading AI stock on this year's undeserved pullback

Shortly after the opening bell, we will be buying 45 shares of Alphabet at roughly $307. Following Friday's trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will own 300 shares of GOOGL, increasing its weighting to 2.4% from 2.04%. We are now able to pick up shares of Alphabet as we are no longer restricted from trading the stock. The tech giant was on the shopping list we shared on Thursday. The S & P Short Range Oscillator moved deeper into oversold territory after Thursday's selloff, dropping to minus-7.65% from minus-5.48%. (The threshold for oversold is minus-4%.) In the absence of a resolution to the Iran war and soaring oil prices (which cooled a bit Friday), we believe it's possible that the Oscillator will reach minus-10%, which historically has been a great time to buy . Alphabet shares are up slightly this week, but we continue to view dips as opportunities to scale into this relatively newer position. As of Thursday's close, the stock is down about 3% year to date and has pulled back 10% from the all time high it made in February. GOOGL YTD mountain Alphabet YTD Skyrocketing artificial intelligence capital expenditures have made some investors uneasy about the hyperscalers, but Alphabet has proved it is the best of the bunch at monetizing these investments. Google Search revenue is seeing a lift from AI, driven by increased engagement with AI-powered queries. Google Cloud's backlog growth suggests its taking market share. Alphabet is able to self-fund its AI investments with free cash flow — and unlike its megacap peers, it has room to spare. Current consensus analyst estimates on FactSet show Alphabet is expected to generate $31 billion of free cash flow this year, compared to Meta Platforms ' $6 billion and Amazon 's $11 billion cash outflow. Microsoft is expected to generate about $74 billion of free cash flow in calendar year 2026, but it probably needs to invest more to catch up.
