Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is one of the Trending AI Stocks on Wall Street. On December 12, TD Cowen raised its price target on the stock to $350.00 from $335.00 while maintaining a “Buy” rating.

The price target raise is driven by the successful integration of artificial intelligence overviews within Google Search. This strengthening AI adoption supports long-term Search growth.

Analyst John Blackledge sees Google Search growing at a CAGR of 10.2% over the next five years, compared to the previous 9.6%. He attributed this increase in Google search usage and query growth to AI mode adoption.

The firm also raised its Gemini monthly average user’s estimates to 850 million at the year end of 2025. This is up from previous estimates of 600 million. It is forecast that by 2030, the Gemini app may reach nearly three billion monthly average users.

Another highlight for the stock is Alphabet’s advertising business.

“Google is the best-positioned mobile advertising company, in our view, due to its leading mobile advertising revenue position, robust capabilities, and traffic advantage relative to its peers.
