Better Buy: Alphabet vs. Apple
Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) have both built tech empires on a global scale. Alphabet's Google essentially serves as a gateway to the internet, and Apple's hardware products are among the most coveted consumer electronics in the world.
Over the last three years, the share prices of Alphabet are up 115% while Apple stock has popped 225%, both easily outperforming the broader market over the same timeframe. So which one of these tech stocks is the better buy today?
Alphabet's business can be broken into two segments: Google and Other Bets. The former's primary focuses are on advertising and cloud computing, while the latter is a collection of currently unprofitable endeavors that may turn into larger businesses at some point -- think of it as an incubation chamber.
