Buffett Sees Alphabet as a Long-Term Winner, But Not Berkshire's Top Pick

Buffett said Alphabet has a better long-term track record than about 90–95% of what Wall Street promotes, but he wouldn’t rank it among Berkshire’s top holdings. He said he initiated the Alphabet investment and that he and CEO Greg Abel are aligned, noting Alphabet’s heavy AI spending and comparing it with durable, high-return businesses like Coca-Cola and American Express. Buffett’s philosophy remains to seek high returns on capital over decades rather than chasing quarterly forecasts.

Alphabet Could Pocket a $100B+ Windfall From SpaceX’s IPO

Alphabet’s early stake in SpaceX could yield a $100B+ windfall if SpaceX’s June IPO values the company near $2 trillion. Google owned about 6.11% of SpaceX at end-2025 (roughly $122B), now around 5% after the xAI merger, still implying massive upside as SpaceX eyes up to $75B in what would be the largest IPO ever. If realized, early investors could see billionaire-level gains, while GOOG/GOOGL remain rated Strong Buy with roughly 14.8% upside to a $385.46 price target.

Alphabet is backing a $16 billion funding round that values Waymo at about $110 billion, more than doubling the company’s valuation and signaling Alphabet’s strong confidence in the self-driving unit. The round is led by Alphabet with participation from Sequoia Capital, Dragoneer, DST Global, Andreessen Horowitz and Mubadala. Waymo says it has completed over 20 million rides and logged 125 million autonomous miles and expects to hit 1 million paid rides per week later this year across cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Miami, with testing in London and Tokyo.
