Alphabet Has One Business That Could Be Worth 50% of the Company, Jim Cramer Explains
Alphabet's (GOOGL) - Get Report earnings could be pretty sterling.
TheStreet's founder and Action Alerts PLUS portfolio manager Jim Cramer thinks Alphabet's Waymo division is worth "probably 50% of the company."
Cramer also said Alphabet has Ruth Porat, the best CFO in America.
Alphabet's stock is trading up 25.25% year-to-date to $972.92 as of Friday. Shares of the company briefly traded above the $1,000 mark in June but were hurt by the tech selloff in late June and early July as investors worried the big tech names had risen too much in 2017. The stock has been on an upward slope since July 6.
Alphabet is a holding in Jim Cramer's Action Alerts PLUS Charitable Trust Portfolio. Want to be alerted before Cramer buys or sells GOOGL? Learn more now.
