Jim Cramer stated on the September 3 episode of Mad Money that Alphabet (GOOGL) is an exceptional opportunity, despite its stock only rising 9% year-to-date. He highlighted Google Cloud's robust growth, with sales surging 82% in Q2, making it a major profit driver alongside YouTube and Waymo. Cramer noted the stock trades at roughly 17 times earnings, which he considers unusually low and an undervaluation of the company's operations. While acknowledging massive capital expenditures (nearly $45 billion in Q2 for data centers and AI hardware) as a potential short-term risk, he emphasized the company's long-term competitive edges. Hedge fund interest in Alphabet also increased in Q2, with 275 funds holding the stock.
