Alphabet is the world's fourth-largest technology company by revenue and one of the world's most valuable companies.
2 trillion valuation with 4b of revenue?
Anthropic's prospectus sets $4.59B in 2025 revenue against an $8.06B operating loss at a roughly $2 trillion valuation. The number traders shouldn't skip: $518B in cloud, compute and infrastructure obligations, which is the bull case for the picks-and-shovels names.
Put half in an index fund as insurance, the other half in individual names you have actually done the homework on. Cramer's case is that an S&P 500 fund gives you 8% to 10% a year and mediocrity alongside the winners, which is why he says it will not make you rich on its own.

PepsiCo is the day's biggest payer, sending shareholders about $2.02 billion, or $1.48 a share, on September 30. Alphabet's two share classes together add roughly $2.51 billion at 22 cents a share, with Kraft Heinz and SLM also paying out.
Kean rotated out of Alphabet and Stryker in July and into a barbell of natural gas, industrials and payments: EQT, ESAB, Amazon and Toast all bought within two weeks. Notable given his Energy and Commerce seat as the panel works through grid and data center power demand. The filing landed 42 days after the first trade.
Q2 13Fs show Berkshire Hathaway adding to its Alphabet stake, now 9.4% of Warren Buffett's portfolio, while Leon Cooperman's Omega Advisors exited entirely.
