Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has long held the spotlight for its strides in artificial intelligence. However, there’s an underdog in the AI race that has been gaining momentum, and according to strategist Matt Orton of Raymond James Investment Management, that underappreciated gem is Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL).

"This is more of the institutional play, and it's underappreciated, I think, by the broader market," Orton said on CNBC's Street Signs Asia on Monday.

Orton highlighted Alphabet’s groundbreaking move with the launch of Gemini, touted as Alphabet’s largest and most potent AI model to date. This innovation has the potential to revolutionize customer service engagement, trend identification for targeted advertising, content creation, and productivity applications.

The strategist dubbed Gemini, a “game changer” in the AI landscape.

The significance of Gemini stems from its ability to narrow the “GenAI gap.” Given the robust state of the U.S. consumer market, Gemini has the potential to fuel advertising revenue acceleration.

Orton also took the opportunity to highlight the fact that Alphabet’s stock is “trading at a really attractive valuation still, especially relative to some of the other Magnificent Seven.”

We looked at valuation ratios for the ‘Mag 7’ stocks, namely, Alphabet, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA), Nvidia, Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL). Clearly, forward P/E multiple appears to favor Alphabet’s stock.

As Alphabet continues to unveil its AI capabilities and solidify its position in the tech landscape, investors might find a hidden treasure in this underappreciated yet formidable player, potentially reaping significant rewards in the evolving AI-driven market of 2024 and beyond.
