Better Buy: Alphabet vs. Facebook

Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) are the top two companies in the digital ad space. One dominates internet search, while the other holds domain in the social media sphere. Due to their influence, both have claimed a place among the world's largest tech companies.

Moreover, both have invested heavily to prepare for the day when growth rates slow in the internet ad space. This could determine which tech stock enjoys more success in the long run. Let's examine both companies to determine which stock investors should choose going forward.

The Google parent has suffered the worst crisis in its history as COVID-19 led to a modest year-over-year decline in advertising revenue (a first for the company). Nonetheless, dominance in search led to massive growth over its 22-year history, taking the market cap to just above $1 trillion.
