    “But here's Google's real play, Sandbox AQ. It's an Alphabet spinout that just raised 450 million with Google and Nvidia backing it up. Sandbox AQ sells post-quantum security and AI-driven simulation today, turning Google quantum research into immediate revenue. And this is how we're buying both the moonshot and the commercialization vehicle all in one stock.”

    In a video on quantum computing stocks, he described Google as the reliability leader in quantum because of its Willow chip, then pointed to Sandbox AQ as its commercialization vehicle.

    “Next, I'd put $20 into Alphabet. You get the most used search engine on the planet, you get YouTube, Waymo, Gemini, and a trillion-dollar cash machine trading at a valuation that still looks cheap relative to the rest of big tech. It's probably one of the safest names on this list.”

How to read this

Quotes are short excerpts from Business with Brian's public YouTube videos, attributed to the speaker and linked to the timestamp. “Close that day” is GOOGL's split-adjusted closing price on the day the video was published (New York time); if markets were closed that day, the last close before it. If the stock has split since a quote, the card shows the price it traded at that day and, beneath it, the split-adjusted close the % change uses. “Since” compares that close with the latest close on 2026-10-19. It is a price observation, not the creator's realized return, and not investment advice. How the price change is calculated. Next to it we show SPY, the ETF tracking the S&P 500, over the same two dates — so a move can be read against the market rather than on its own: why we compare with SPY. Each quote also carries a label — Named as a pick, Risk acknowledged, Reducing — describing what kind of statement it was: see what the labels mean.

Coverage: 55 of 55 videos published since 2025-09-10 covered; 118 Alphabet mentions found. Prices as of 2026-10-19.
