Their early adoption highlights their leadership in AI. At the Google I/O developer conference, CEO Sundar Pichai highlighted AI's importance by announcing AI-generated answers in Google’s search engine. This aims to improve user interaction with more precise and relevant search results.
A key element of Google's AI is its advertising tool, Performance Max. Widely adopted across industries, it aims to optimize advertising efficiency through AI. However, it faces criticism for its lack of control and detailed reporting.
Despite its advancements, the company has faced challenges with AI development, including criticism over the accuracy and appropriateness of its AI-generated content. Nonetheless, their strong position in AI is supported by its proprietary infrastructure and access to extensive data sets.
Google's leading position in the AI race is evident in its stock performance. In 2023, their stock rose by 96%, recovering from a previous 44% decline. This recovery started after finding support at $90, following a year-long correction.
The stock's ability to move higher while staying above the daily 20 simple moving average is seen as a sign of a healthy upward trend.
Recently, on April 1st, the stock broke out from a significant consolidation area, rising above $151, which could signal the start of a long-term bull trend. This creates an attractive opportunity for investors to benefit from the positive momentum in Google’s stock performance.
After the closing bell on Thursday, May 23, the stock closed at $173.55, trading down by 1.60%.
