"These seven companies made up 33% of the S&P 500's total value in February, which is an amazing feat for just a handful of companies. While tech-focused stocks have taken a pause this year, I strongly believe that, over the long term, these names are worth adding to your investment portfolio as a core."
"Most people associate Alphabet, formerly known as Google, with its ubiquitous search engine, which has around a 90% global market share. It also has dominant products such as its Chrome browser, Android smartphone OS, and YouTube video platform. Combined, that gives Alphabet a powerful advertising engine."
"Alphabet saw Google Cloud revenue jump 48% in the fourth quarter to $17.7 billion. It now has an annual run rate of more than $70 billion. More companies are turning to cloud environments to run their businesses, and cloud computing is vital as companies build, train, and run AI-powered applications and products."
