			== Comparable Company Analysis ==
			In the realm of tech competition, Alphabet Inc. leads through Google, but rivals like Yahoo and Microsoft Bing vie for a spot. Yahoo's $41 million market value and Microsoft Bing's $182,432.5 million showcase their efforts. Yet, Google dominates with a market value of $704,740.8 million, a testament to its digital supremacy.

			Alphabet's impact goes beyond Google, encompassing innovative subsidiaries like Waymo in self-driving tech, Calico in biotech, and Wing in drone delivery. These ventures shape diverse industries and set the course for our technological future.

	~~Alphabet Inc. is~~ a ~~holding company~~ that is the ~~parent company~~ of ~~Google~~ and ~~several other businesses~~. ~~Alphabet's business operations are divided into two main segments:~~ Google ~~and Other Bets~~.		Working from their dorm rooms two Stanford University students, Sergey Brin and Larry page, built a search engine called Backrub that used links to determine the importance of individual pages on the World Wide Web. It ranked web pages better than any of its competitors and so within a few years managed to outperform the competition.

			In August 1998, Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim wrote Larry and Sergey a check for $100,000, and Google Inc. was officially born. With this investment, the newly incorporated team made the upgrade from the dorms to their first office.

	Search		* Google Search - most well known for the search engine, income is generated through the use of advertisements that are displayed when the user makes relevant searches. – prices can vary for advertisers depending on the industry that is being advertised, for example a legal client will be more profitable for a firm than someone looking to buy fitness equipment so the cost per click will vary drastically.

	~~Maps~~		* Youtube – A video sharing site that is also one of alphabets most valuable assets. Again revenue is generated through the use of advertisements in a similar way to the Google search however instead short video adverts are played before/during a video.

This comprehensive suite of offerings empowers businesses to enhance efficiency, streamline operations, and achieve secure and scalable growth in the digital landscape. – prices vary depending on the features the customer is using however are generally in the range of about $10 per user per month

	=== Expected return of an investment in Alphabet ===		=== Expected return of an investment in Alphabet ===
	The expected return of an investment in ~~Alphabet~~ is ~~difficult~~ to ~~predict with certainty~~. ~~However~~, ~~based on~~ the company~~'s financial performance and historical stock price movements~~, we can ~~make some educated guesses~~.		The Stockhub users estimate that the expected return of an investment in the company over the next five years is 93%, which equates to an annual return of 14%. In other words, an £1,000 investment in the company is expected to return £1,930 in five years time. The assumptions used to estimate the return figure can be found below.

	~~Alphabet has been a very profitable company in recent years, with net income margins averaging around 26~~%~~. This means that~~ for ~~every $100 in revenue that Alphabet generates,~~ the ~~company keeps $26 in profit~~.		* WACC/Discount rate of 8.8%
			* Perpetual Growth Rate of 3%
			* Revenue estimates for the year 2024 and 2025<ref>https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GOOG/financials?p=GOOG</ref>

	~~Alphabet's stock price has also been on a tear in recent years, increasing by over 400~~% in the ~~past 5 years. This is due to a number~~ of ~~factors, including~~ the ~~company's strong financial performance, its dominance~~ in the ~~online advertising market, and its investments in new growth areas such as artificial intelligence and self-driving cars~~.		==== Sensitivity analysis ====
			{\| class="wikitable"
	~~Based on these factors, we can estimate that~~ the ~~expected return~~ of ~~an investment in Alphabet is around 15~~% ~~per year. This is a very high return, but it~~ is ~~important~~ to ~~remember that~~ it ~~is a risky investment~~.		\|+
