Google’s Alphabet stock (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has received an update from the leading investment bank JP Morgan. GOOGL opened Thursday’s bell trading at the $308.70 level and remains rangebound in the charts. The volatility in the indices due to the escalating Iran-Israel conflict has kept leading equities from surging in price.
Douglas Anmuth, the Head of US Internet Equity Research at JP Morgan, recently updated Google’s Alphabet stock forecast. The analyst gave the equity a ‘strong buy’ rating while increasing the previous 12-month price prediction. The previous forecast for GOOGL stood at $385, and the analyst has upgraded the numbers.

New Google Stock Price Target From JP Morgan: Bullish or Bearish?
According to the price prediction from JP Morgan, Google stock is poised to reach the $395 mark. That’s an increase of $10 from its previous estimate of $385. That’s an additional increase of 2.5% from its earlier forecast. The global bank remains bullish on GOOGL’s prospects as it is offsetting AI spending by renting out AI infrastructure. It is going the Nvidia way to save costs while adding an extra layer of revenue stream.
Google stock is in a position to rise by another 38% from its current price of $308, according to JP Morgan. That’s a robust growth story, as not every asset is now delivering double-digit gains. Therefore, an investment of $1,000 could turn into $1,380 if the price prediction turns out to be accurate. The development would bring investors’ confidence back into the tech sector.
JP Morgan’s analyst wrote that Alphabet has presented a show of confidence that can boost the stock prospects. The investments in the AI sector and remaining ahead of the curve are also making the company remain bullish. The technology and search engine giant has also received a ‘strong buy’ rating from several other firms, including TipRanks.
