My recent decision to invest further in Google $Alphabet(GOOG)$   is underpinned by a robust analysis of the company's strategic positioning and future growth prospects. Here’s a detailed reflection on why I believe this investment is sound and poised for long-term success. Expansion in Data Centers: Building the Backbone for AI Google is not just another technology company; it is one of the pivotal players in the data center and cloud infrastructure space. The company's recent report highlights significant capital investment into expanding its data center footprint globally. This expansion includes both developed and emerging markets, with substantial investments in the United States, as well as international locations such as Mexi

$Alphabet(GOOG)$ I made an additional investment in GOOG stock based on strong confidence in Alphabet’s long-term growth strategy. Citizens recently reiterated a “Market Outperform” rating with a $340 price target, reflecting optimism in Waymo’s potential following its 1Q25 earnings call. CEO Sundar Pichai emphasized “optionality around personal ownership,” signaling Alphabet’s understanding of leveraging its technology and distribution to build strong business moats. Additionally, licensing Waymo’s autonomous vehicle technology to automakers can expand ride-sharing networks, enhance distribution, and reduce production costs through OEM partnerships, positioning Alphabet for sustainable growth in the evolving mobility sector.

$Oracle(ORCL)$ I’ve made an additional investment in Oracle (ORCL) despite its recent “lackluster print,” which showed only a modest 15% quarter-over-quarter improvement in RPO growth, overshadowed by significantly higher-than-expected capital expenditure plans. The company raised its fiscal year 2026 capex guidance by $15 billion to $50 billion, fueling investor concerns over funding its data center expansion. However, management’s commitment to maintaining an investment-grade credit rating, along with access to multiple funding options, provides reassurance. I view this as a strategic long-term investment in Oracle’s cloud infrastructure growth, positioning for potential upside as expansion projects materialize.

Investment Reflection on Adjusting WBA Option Portfolio

Overview Walgreens Boots Alliance $Walgreens Boots Alliance(WBA)$  , a prominent pharmacy-led healthcare company, recently reported its third-quarter earnings with mixed results. While the company affirmed an increase in earnings per share (EPS) to 40 cents, compared to 14 cents in the previous year, this was overshadowed by a significant non-cash impairment related to pharmacy license intangible assets at Boots UK. The adjusted EPS fell by 36.6% in constant currency, and challenging retail conditions, along with tough trends impacting its pharmacies, led to a drop in sales growth expectations. In response to these adverse developments, I made a strategic adjustment to my WBA option portfolio on 3 July 2024. This reflection details the rationa

$Apple(AAPL)$ I made an additional investment in Apple stock, viewing the current environment as an opportunity to position for sustained long-term growth despite near-term headwinds. UBS analyst David Vogt recently reiterated a Neutral rating with a $280 price target, highlighting concerns over slowing App Store growth and tough December comparisons, even with a foreign exchange tailwind. Data from Sensor Tower shows that November App Store revenue grew approximately 6% on a reported basis, following 7% and 9% growth in September and October, respectively. On a currency-neutral basis, growth was around 5% year-over-year, reflecting ongoing momentum. While December faces a challenging 12% comparison hurdle, this is slightly lower than recent

$Alphabet(GOOG)$ Holding of position driven by Alphabet’s strong dual-pronged AI strategy. On the consumer side, it’s embedding AI into Search and expanding Gemini, now with 350M users. On the enterprise front, Google Cloud is booming—revenues surged 28% YoY to $12.3B, powered by custom TPUs and rising AI cloud demand. With $360B in annual revenue and $117.5B in operating income, Alphabet is redefining its addressable market through AI. I believe this sets the stage for long-term revenue and earnings growth.
