Alphabet’s cloud business posted blowout growth, but the stock remains nearly flat for the year, raising doubts about whether its large, long-dated capex push will translate into sustained earnings power. The near-term market focus appears to be on payback timing—potentially keeping pressure on shares even as cloud momentum improves. Investors are effectively weighing strong operating signals against a valuation/timing question ahead of any path toward $500.
