Bank of America is sticking with its Buy rating on $GOOGL arguing the core Google Ads & Play businesses trade at just 9x 2026E earnings, well below the S&P 500’s 20x, which they see as compelling value (based on $285 in estimated GAAP EPS for 2026).

That valuation excludes contributions from YouTube, Cloud, Waymo, cash, and still-bleeding Other Bets—so there’s plenty of optionality.

BoA also highlights that total queries are growing, including on Apple devices, potentially thanks to tools like Circle to Search, image and voice search, the Google app, and Gemini.

On the Apple Safari TAC deal, they estimate it made up about 26% of 2025 net search revenue and 30% of profits, assuming gross revenue from Safari grew 44% over three years. But even with that risk, they believe the downside is priced in—with $GOOGL trading at just 15x 2026 earnings.
