The other side of Google's story focuses on distributing and monetizing content. Alphabet's second=quarter print on Thursday reinforced the fact that Google owns two of the most "important icons" on a mobile phone.
"If you open a browser you are going to do a mobile search — Google is doing a great job of owning and monetizing mobile search," he said. "You are going to watch a video, Google obviously has a ton of challengers around YouTube... but they are still YouTube."
As a side note, Patel also stated that Alphabet's earnings also indicate that its enterprise business is "doing better."
A shares of Alphabet (GOOGL) were trading higher by 4 percent at $796.47, while C shares (GOOG) were up 3.61 percent at $772.82 at time of writing.
