Google, Microsoft and Generative AI Ahead of Tomorrow’s EPS Print

Google, Microsoft and Generative AI Ahead of Tomorrow’s EPS Print

It is early days on the Generative AI front. I do not expect Google Cloud Platform (GCP) nor Microsoft Azure to have much to show as it relates to Generative AI-related Revenue associated with those respective platforms. I believe Enterprise customers are largely trying to figure out what Generative AI means for them. Therefore, GCP … Continue reading Google, Microsoft and Generative AI Ahead of Tomorrow’s EPS Print

IBM’s M&A Strategy

IBM’s M&A Strategy

With respect to IBM's (IBM) acquisition of Apptio (private, Vista Equity), it will provide a modest boost to growth. However, I would much rather see IBM pursue acquisitions of Info Services companies such as CoStar (CSGP), Factset (FDS), ICE (ICE), Solera (private), Verisk (VRSK) or any number of other data-centric companies that could provide grist … Continue reading IBM’s M&A Strategy

AI Failure: Many Companies Will Fail To Scale Their AI Projects

AI Failure: Many Companies Will Fail To Scale Their AI Projects

Many companies will fail in their implementation of various AI projects. Many companies underestimate the cost and effort associated with advanced automation / "AI" projects. In addition, companies often fail to clearly define the business problem they wish AI to solve upfront in their AI project process. 1.) Define the Business Problem: This is not … Continue reading AI Failure: Many Companies Will Fail To Scale Their AI Projects

Google Remains The AI King

Google Remains The AI King

Google has been the AI King since its founding (we first dubbed it the "AI King" in May 2019). It is good to see Google get a bit of AI recognition on the heels of Google I/O this week. The AI King: Between Google Search, Chrome, Google Photos, Google Maps, Google Translate, Google Live Caption, … Continue reading Google Remains The AI King

The Full Promise of Large Language Models

The Full Promise of Large Language Models

The full promise of Large Language Models (LLMs) won't be delivered until LLMs are capable of understanding nuanced industry specific commercial data. Until such time, LLMs will be productivity enhancers (think Google Assistant), capable of automating routine tasks but incapable of operating complex processes. In order for the above to happen, LLMs will need to … Continue reading The Full Promise of Large Language Models

AWS, Azure, GCP and Oracle

AWS, Azure, GCP and Oracle

My outlook as it relates to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Oracle's cloud server business is unchanged as compared to the article we wrote back in January (HERE). Fewer startups will be built upon remote server platforms (AWS and Azure being numbers 1 and 2) as most startups are cutting heads or worse … Continue reading AWS, Azure, GCP and Oracle

GOOGL shares look attractive. 11.4x EV/Operating Cash Flow and an 8% cash flow yield for a quality company that I would rather own versus overvalued Tech stocks like PLTR, COIN and scores of others. If you ask me, GOOG is going to gain share across its Remote Server business (GCP), and its Productivity products (Docs, … Continue reading Google Looks Attractive

Spin-Off YouTube and Google Cloud?

Spin-Off YouTube and Google Cloud?

Sure, if Alphabet (ticker: GOOGL), were to spin off YouTube and Google Cloud it would be easier for Wall Street to value the component parts. However, I'm not sure that YouTube or Google Cloud ought to spin-off. Here's why: Google Cloud: Google Cloud consists of Google Cloud Platform (GCP is the comp to AWS and … Continue reading Spin-Off YouTube and Google Cloud?

Technology Stocks Are Not Yet In The Clear

Technology Stocks Are Not Yet In The Clear

The NASDAQ Composite has had a nice little run, up more than 9% year-to-date. However, I would exercise caution ahead of Tech earnings and the Fed's January 31st / February 1st FOMC meeting. We have written on numerous occasions that we expect management teams to take a conservative approach to 2023 Revenue and EPS guidance. … Continue reading Technology Stocks Are Not Yet In The Clear
