Better Buy: Facebook vs. Google

Two components of the FAANG group of stocks are Facebook and Alphabet, parent of Google. Both tech giants report third-quarter earnings on Thursday.

Over the long term, both companies have been extremely strong outperformers with long growth runways, high margins, and huge returns on capital. However, both companies have also recently faced scrutiny from antitrust regulators.

So which is the better buy today? Facebook and Google actually have similar financial profiles and valuations, so the choice will likely come down to what long-term trends you want to bet on as an investor.
