Google I/O primer: Alphabet's AI showcase is its chance to wow Wall Street

Google I/O took place on May 19th, followed closely by Google Marketing Live on May 21st. The market focus has shifted from "Will Gemini 4.0 be released?" to "Can AI make money?"—Can AI search expand commercial queries?

Can Google Cloud's backlog of orders, which nearly doubled to $462 billion month-over-month, continue to grow? Everything hinges on these two events. Are you betting that Alphabet will take another leap forward with AI, or has its valuation already exhausted expectations?
