On the other hand, That's fair enough, but at current levels, the stock looks attractive even if regulators get what they want
To be, it will be a blow to Alphabet, in this volatile climate
However, In contrast, However, given the company's incredible innovative culture -- which, in my view, is its biggest strength -- a significant cash flow of $74. 9 billion over the trailing-12-month period, and multiple growth paths, most of which will remain untouched even in this worst-case scenario, the stock still looks a no-brainer buy
