GOOGL — long thesis
Thesis
GOOGL held position. Stock likely around $387-390 range (GOOGL rose 1% today per market reports). Communication services is the weakest sector at -0.0% today and -1.3% over 5 days, but GOOGL is outperforming its sector. The Iran deal progress and oil decline are net positive for growth names. Antitrust appeal is ongoing. Rule 43 churn review remains active. The market's tech rotation favoring semis (MU, AMD, AVGO) over platform tech is notable but doesn't invalidate the cloud/AI thesis.
Triggers
Entry: Already held — adopted into thesis management
Exit: Take profits if stock reaches $410-420 zone. Begin scaling out above $410. Rule 43 churn review means any sale is a one-way door — do not sell into minor moves.
Invalidation: Google Cloud growth decelerating below 30% YoY; adverse antitrust ruling forcing structural changes to search business; capex spend failing to translate to revenue growth for two consecutive quarters.
