RECENT INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH

• 2026-08-06 — Global Cloud Service Provider Financial Comparison: Azure and Google Cloud Stand Out on Valuation, While CoreWeave and Oracle Face Higher Risks (HSBC)

HSBC’s report compares the financial performance and valuations of major global cloud service providers, including Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, CoreWeave, and Oracle. Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud rank best on a risk-adjusted basis, supported by higher ROIC of 14.6%–18.9% and broader competitive advantages.

The report finds that AWS’s ROIC may be overstated because of its high proportion of short-term contracts and should therefore be interpreted with caution.

• 2026-07-24 — Alphabet: Launch of TPU as a service, asset-light leverage to leverage huge cloud revenue, maintain overweight (Barclays)

The Barclays report pointed out that Alphabet is launching a TPU-as-a-service (TPU-aaS) model, building AI infrastructure outside Google Cloud through SPV and partners such as Blackstone and Broadcom, and selling TPU computing power directly to customers such as AI laboratories.

This move is expected to significantly increase Google Cloud's revenue and operating profit. External TPU sales are expected to bring in approximately US$250 billion in revenue in 2028 and contribute to a 15% increase in consensus gross profit.

BOTTOM LINE

The technical structure is mixed, while the latest comparable period showed growth in both revenue and net income. The next confirmation must come from both price structure and the next reported operating data—not from narrative alone.

WHAT TO WATCH

• A reclaim of HMA21 near $362.29 would be the first meaningful stabilization signal.
• A close below the nearby support zone around $353.78 would weaken the setup.
• Whether the next filing confirms that revenue growth is converting into net income, EPS and cash flow.
• Whether the operating milestones identified in recent institutional research become measurable disclosures.
