Joseph Carlson’s price target and valuation calls on GOOGL
A price target, a fair-value estimate and a price worth buying at are different things. Each line below quotes which one was said, and when.
Price target
Google's one of them. I think it's going to go to $300 per share in this case. Again, I think that Google has been proving people wrong for a long period of time.
Valuation view
I became convinced that Google was one of the most dislocated companies, undervalued companies, high-quality companies selling at an unfair discount. And that's why I've been ta…
Price target
You add on DeepMind, you add on Gemini, you add on Google search and you have a company that's worth far more than it's trading for today. I believe that Google is about $100 un…
Price target
Google's a company that I still believe is going to go much higher. It's going above $300 per share. I think the company today is worth at least $320 per share.
Price target
Google is now flirting with $400 per share. There's a very high chance by the end of 2026 it'll be above $400 per share.
Valuation view
Well, what's going on with Google is that the intrinsic value of the company continues to climb. Google today is worth more as an enterprise. It's more valuable today than it wa…

How to read this
Quotes are short excerpts from Joseph Carlson'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 2026-10-28. 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.
