How Investors Are Reacting To Alphabet (GOOGL) Powering Apple’s Next-Gen Siri With Gemini AI

• Earlier in January 2026, Apple announced a multi-year partnership with Google to base its next generation of Apple Foundation Models and upgraded Siri features on Alphabet’s Gemini AI and cloud technology, while keeping Apple Intelligence running on-device and within its Private Cloud Compute framework.
• Together with Ant International’s work on Google’s new Universal Commerce Protocol for agentic shopping, these moves highlight Alphabet’s AI stack reaching deep into both consumer platforms and global payments infrastructure.
• With Gemini now embedded in Apple’s Siri roadmap, we’ll examine how this deepening AI integration is reshaping Alphabet’s investment narrative.

What Is Alphabet's Investment Narrative?

To own Alphabet today, you really have to believe its AI engine can compound on top of already massive, highly profitable businesses without eroding them. The Apple deal drops Gemini into the heart of iOS, reinforcing the idea that Alphabet’s AI stack is becoming infrastructure for other giants, not just for Google products. In the near term, the key catalysts still sit with Q4 results on February 4, how much of that US$385.48 billion revenue base is being lifted by AI in Search and Cloud, and whether management justifies heavier AI capex after last year’s very large share price gains. The Apple and Ant International announcements likely strengthen the AI narrative rather than move near term numbers, but they also raise the bar: expectations, and execution risk, both just went up.

But there is a growing risk that AI spending runs ahead of clear earnings contribution, which investors should watch. Alphabet's share price has been on the slide but might be dropping deeper into value territory. Find out whether it's a bargain at this price.
