Past performance does not predict future results. Informational only, not investment advice.
Author bought 1000 shares of GOOGL at $319.35 expecting the stock to reach $399 in the next few months for an $80k profit.
Google's Q2 GAAP earnings will significantly exceed consensus estimates due to a large mark-to-market gain on its ~5-6% SpaceX stake (~$70B increase from Q1 to Q2), which analysts haven't factored into the $2.89 EPS estimate. A potential 140%+ earnings beat headline will drive investor attention; the asset is now liquid post-IPO and available as collateral, addressing bear case concerns about capex pressuring free cash flow.
GOOGL is coiling under the $368–372 resistance shelf with a higher low at $340, setting up for a break to $408.61 ATH and beyond. Open interest stacked at the 8/21 $415 strike signals crowd conviction, and the author expects better-than-even odds of tagging $400 before the July 29 earnings.
GOOGL is trapped in a $341-350 range due to underwriter hedging of a $30B equity raise, but structural catalysts—Dow inclusion (June 26), July 17 call expiration, and Q2 earnings/Gemini 3.5 Pro launch (July 22)—will lift this cap. Author targets $380-390 via August 21 calls, expecting post-earnings breakout after underwriter stabilization period ends.
Google owns 10% of SpaceX and will benefit from its growth; smart money is accumulating Google leaps at discounted prices while the stock is 15% off ATH with no competitive end in sight. Author expects GOOGL to reach $500 by end of year.
