In a recent development, Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has briefly surpassed Apple in market value, but experts are divided on whether this lead will last. The shift highlights the ongoing competition between two tech giants as they continue to push boundaries in innovation and growth. Following its latest earnings report, Alphabet saw a surge in analyst confidence, with 31 analysts raising their price targets. The median target now stands at $924, suggesting that Alphabet could reach a market cap of $628 billion within the next year. Meanwhile, Apple’s median target is set at $135, implying a potential valuation of $748.5 billion over the same period. Some analysts are even more bullish on Alphabet, projecting a possible $734 billion valuation, while Apple’s most optimistic forecasts suggest it could hit $1 trillion, making it the first company ever to cross that threshold. This has sparked renewed interest in Apple’s long-term potential, especially after billionaire investor Carl Icahn previously called the stock "substantially undervalued." On Tuesday, Alphabet's shares climbed 4.4% to $804.50, pushing its market cap to $546.5 billion. Apple, however, saw a slight dip, with its share price falling 1.2% to $95.28 and a market cap of $528 billion. Despite this, Alphabet may not hold onto the top spot for long, given the challenges Apple still faces. Apple has been struggling with weaker iPhone demand, particularly in China, and lacks a new blockbuster product to drive sales. Its recent quarterly results disappointed investors, leading to a drop in share price. On the other hand, Alphabet has seen a strong 43% rise in its stock price over the past year, driven by mobile search and YouTube monetization. Looking ahead, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 7 release in September could give a much-needed boost to sales and share price. While Alphabet’s growth is expected to be more gradual, its dominance in digital advertising and expanding video content business remain strong. Analysts remain cautiously optimistic about both companies, with no one issuing a "sell" rating. Alphabet currently trades at a forward P/E ratio of 22.47, making it one of the priciest tech stocks, while Apple’s P/E is 10.59, reflecting its more conservative valuation. Deutsche Bank’s Ross Sandler is the most bullish on Alphabet, raising his target to $1,080, while Drexel Hamilton’s Brian White is the most optimistic about Apple, setting a target of $200 per share. As the race for the top continues, both companies are under intense scrutiny from investors and analysts alike.
