Alphabet Inc. (which is characterized by its dominant Google business and the cloud business unit) still occupies a strong position in the equity market; however, it did not feature in the latest ranking of The Motley Fool (the top ten promising stocks) as of November 2025.

Alphabet, although not included in this very exclusive list, has business building blocks and cloud backlog that underline the reason it has provided an opportunity to grow consistently.

Well-developed Cloud Backlog Signifies Expansion

The company also reported a $155 billion backlog in its cloud computing business, which is already an indication of immense demand and justifies such massive capital investment to increase the infrastructure capacity.

Backlog is a growing revenue stream that would be out of the traditional advertising control of that of Alphabet which would have a strong emphasis of a transition into enterprise cloud products- high revenue and growing market.

Consistent Stock Performance and Financial Health

The value of the company in terms of market capitalization (approximately 2.45 trillion) strengthens the idea that the company is one of the most valuable organizations in the world.

Financial metrics indicate a strong profitability and this is illustrated with an earnings per share (EPS). As of November 2025, GOOGL’s current EPS stands at $10.23, according to the latest financial reports.

For the year 2024, the company recorded an earnings per share (EPS) of $8.13, which marks an increase compared to its EPS of $5.84 in 2023.

GOOGL reported an EPS of $2.89 for the quarterly report ending on Sep 30, 2025.The price-to-earnings ratio of about 20.37 is relatively high implying a fairly fair value in relation to its growth opportunities.

Background Motley Fool Stock Picks

Motley Fool Stock Advisor portfolio, the group focused on beating the market, which had a goal average gain of 1,072% compared to S and P 500’s 194%, did not consider Alphabet as a part of its most recent top-stock recommendations released in November 2025. 

Table showing stock data for companies like Nvidia, Netflix, Amazon, Booking Holdings, Tesla, and others, including their stock prices, recommendation dates, market caps, adjusted recommendation prices, return since recommendation, and return compared to the S&P 500.

Such an omission highlights the view of analysts that there are other equities currently having better payoff potential. Some of the success stories of Stock Advisor comprise Netflix and Nvidia that have made incredible returns to the investor after initial recommendations occurred.

Future Outlook

Alphabet might not constitute the direct top-10 lists according to some market researchers, but its wide cloud backlog, aggressive financial base, and market leader status in digital advertisement all suggest that it will remain an appealing long-term investment.

Shareholders should consider future expansion through the active innovation in cloud technology and diversification as key Alphabet drivers in the future.

The moderate valuation of the share combined with the size of the company and dominance in the industry maintains its position on the watchlists as the stock provides steady, though not dramatic returns in the next few years.

To conclude, at the current stage, Alphabet does not fit the list of the most efficient purchases by specific expert equity advisors; nevertheless, it is intrinsically a strong security with significant growth opportunities, which is largely driven by its cloud computing business and leadership in the market.
