Jim Cramer Says "Alphabet Increasingly Looks Like the Only Winner in AI for the Moment"

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s radar recently. Cramer mentioned the company during the episode and said:

“Hey, you want hate? I’ll give you hate. All you have to do is declare you’re going for clean energy to power your data centers. If Microsoft and Meta Platforms were to abandon their dislike of fossil fuels and go all in, say, on despised clean coal, or at least cleaner natural gas, they could actually lift their heads and not have them blown off. Without cheap energy, though, what really matters is that Alphabet increasingly looks like the only winner in AI for the moment. And it’s partnered with Apple to power Siri and who knows what else. Winner.”

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) provides tech-related products and services, including search, advertising, cloud computing, AI tools, and digital content platforms like YouTube and Google Play. Cramer mentioned the company during the January 8 episode, as he commented:

“Apart from that, Alphabet was very strong last year, up roughly 65%, as the outcome from its antitrust trials amounted to really just a slap on the wrist, while their Gemini 3 AI platform… I use it all the time, although I don’t use it authoritatively. I just use it as some way, as a compilation, it compiles things for me. It’s a home run, and it’s now threatening ChatGPT for mindshare.”

While we acknowledge the potential of GOOGL as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
