GOOGL beats again; momentum and analyst sentiment support upside

GOOGL has beaten 4 consecutive quarters with avg +19.9% surprise, and analysts are 100% bullish (2 upgrades, 0 downgrades in 30d). Price momentum is strong (+7.1% 1w, +3.73% 1m, outperforming SPY by 4.2%), and signal consensus is 80% bullish. While sell-the-news probability is 50% and insiders are net selling $46.97M, the perfect beat history and analyst conviction outweigh these headwinds. Valuation at P/E 27.4 is reasonable for growth, and priced-in risk is moderate (0.25), leaving room for upside surprise.
