Alphabet Stock (GOOGL) Climbs Despite Samsung's Galactical Search for New AI Agents

Shares in Alphabet (GOOGL) edged higher today despite technology giant Samsung Electronics looking to give its customers more AI variety in its future mobile phones. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. AI Diversity According to a report in Bloomberg, South Korea's Samsung is seeking other options outside of Alphabet's AI Assistant Gemini for its Galaxy devices. In an interview with Choi Won-Joon, president and chief operating officer of Samsung's mobile division, it was reported that it is already in talks with Microsoft (MSFT) -backed OpenAI and Perplexity AI, which is backed by chip giant Nvidia (NVDA), SoftBank (SFTBY), and Amazon (AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos. The main driver, according to Choi, is to give its customers more choice on its upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 smartphone line next year. Samsung's current line-up features Alphabet's AI model, like much of the rest of the field of Android devices. 'We are talking to multiple vendors. As long as these AI agents are competitive and can provide the best user experiences, we are open to any AI agent out there,' Choi said. As can be seen below, innovation, including those of rivals, is one of the key risks to Alphabet stock and its investors. Allay Doubts It is also understood that Samsung is nearing a deal to invest in Perplexity and integrate its app and assistant. Like rival Apple (AAPL), the Galaxy phone maker is looking to augment its own efforts at artificial intelligence with the best available from outside providers. Beyond AI, the mobiles-to-chips conglomerate is also reportedly evaluating new application processors for the Galaxy S26 and considering both Qualcomm (QCOM) Inc. products and its in-house Exynos 2600. For the recently released Galaxy Z Flip 7, Samsung used the Exynos chipset in a foldable for the first time. According to reports, the company has sought to reduce reliance on Qualcomm and allay doubts about the efficiency and thermal performance of its Exynos line. Is GOOGL a Good Stock to Buy Now? On TipRanks, GOOGL has a Strong Buy consensus based on 28 Buy and 9 Hold ratings. Its highest price target is $250. GOOGL stock's consensus price target is $214.56 implying an 11.65% upside.

The largest crypto recently changed hands at $117,200, still down 1.2% over the past 24 hours.

The wallets held BTC since the early years of Bitcoin's history, transferred the assets in after being dormant for more than a decade. Later on Friday, Galaxy confirmed that it completed the sale of all 80,000 BTC on behalf of a client, touting it as "one of the largest notional bitcoin transactions in the history of crypto." The sale was part of the investor's estate planning strategy, the firm said. With the selling pressure by the whale now past, some analysts predicted the lows could be in or close. John Glover, chief investment officer of crypto lender Ledn, said that BTC could put in a local bottom on Friday or over the weekend before continuing its push to new records, according to his Eliot wave analysis. "Once completed (either today or over the weekend) I expect that we will complete wave iii by rallying to circa $132,000," Glover said in a market in to access your portfolio
