"A major development throughout 2025 has been the rising adoption and evaluation of Google's tensor processing units by large technology firms such as Meta. These chips are increasingly seen as a cost-efficient and scalable alternative to Nvidia's GPUs, especially for inference, the fastest-growing segment in AI computing. ChatGPT's analysis indicated that the market has yet to fully price in the long-term margin gains Alphabet could realize as TPU adoption expands."
"At the same time, Alphabet's diversified revenue streams, spanning advertising, YouTube, cloud, subscriptions, and consumer AI, make it more resilient to a potential slowdown in AI spending that some economists warn could emerge in early 2026. With more than four billion users across its platforms, the rollout of Gemini-powered features across Android, YouTube, and Google Search is poised to unlock new monetization opportunities next year, an area where Nvidia has no direct presence."
Alphabet enters 2026 strengthened by the rapid expansion of the Gemini ecosystem, stronger advertising revenue, and accelerating Google Cloud growth. Large technology firms such as Meta have been increasingly adopting and evaluating Google's tensor processing units (TPUs). These chips are seen as a cost-efficient, scalable alternative to Nvidia GPUs for inference, the fastest-growing segment in AI computing. The market has not fully priced in potential long-term margin gains from TPU adoption. Alphabet's diversified revenue streams across advertising, YouTube, cloud, subscriptions, and consumer AI provide resilience against a potential AI spending slowdown. Over four billion users position Gemini rollouts across Android, YouTube, and Search to unlock new monetization opportunities that Nvidia lacks.
