The short version
In September 2025 Daniel Pronk called Google's eight times book value arguably fair. In October 2025 they judged Alphabet over fair value and were not buying; in December 2025 they rejected buying at an all-time high multiple. In February 2026 they expected Google to turn free-cash-flow negative the following year and called themselves a Google shareholder. In June 2026 they called it a long-term winner but not attractively priced. In July 2026 they were not interested but might become interested after a correction, and saw possible negative free cash flow in 2027. In August 2026 they called Google the most expensive hyperscaler and were buying Amazon and Meta instead.

How to read this
Quotes are short excerpts from Daniel Pronk'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.
