Here’s what analysts are saying after the $GOOGL selloff tied to Eddy Cue’s AI search comments:
Wells Fargo (Equal Weight, PT $175): "The time to debate changes in search behavior has come to a close... Expect Google to more aggressively exploit its distribution advantage, pushing AI Search in the main search bar. Expect disruption to follow, but better sooner than later."
Bank of America (Buy, PT $200): "Apple commentary reflects changing search landscape; queries are still growing." Cue noted “increasing usage of new Gen-AI platforms,” and that “AI search providers could eventually replace traditional engines like Google.”
Citi (Buy, PT $200): "Competition in the Search landscape is at its highest level in potentially…ever." But: "We are focused on GOOGL’s newer products gaining GenAI share—Gemini, AI Overviews & AI Mode." Also highlights “AI Max”, enabling “2X higher conversion rate at 31% lower cost” for clients like L'Oréal.
Morgan Stanley (Overweight, PT $185): "Sentiment has (again) troughed. Shares now trade at 15x FY26 $10 EPS estimate—a trough multiple and tactically a strong buying opportunity."

The EU 🇪🇺 just dropped a draft list targeting $107B worth of U.S. goods with potential tariffs if trade talks break down—including planes, cars, bourbon, meat, chemicals, metals, and beer. They’re also eyeing $4.4B in export curbs on scrap metals and chemicals. EU says it’s “fully committed” to finding a deal, but clearly preparing to hit back.
