Investment research

You: I'm thinking about buying Google. What should I know?

Tendrill: Great choice to research! Here's the GOOGL overview:

📊 Current price: $178.25
📈 YTD performance: +52%
💰 Market cap: $2.2 trillion

The bull case:
• AI integration across Search, Cloud, YouTube
• Cloud revenue growing 28% YoY
• Strong advertising moat
• $118B cash on balance sheet

The bear case:
• Regulatory scrutiny (DOJ antitrust case)
• AI search disruption concerns
• YouTube ad growth slowing

Valuation:
• P/E: 24x (vs 5-year avg of 26x)
• Looks reasonable for the growth

How it would fit YOUR portfolio:
• You're already 65% tech
• Adding GOOGL would increase that to 68%
• Consider if you want more tech concentration

Want me to compare it to your existing holdings?

Understanding a concept

You: What's the difference between a stock split and a dividend?

Tendrill: Great question! They're quite different:

📊 Stock Split:
• Company divides existing shares into more shares
• Example: 2-for-1 split doubles your shares, halves the price
• Your total value stays EXACTLY the same
• It's like exchanging a $20 bill for two $10s
• Companies do this to make shares more accessible

💵 Dividend:
• Company pays you cash from its profits
• Example: $0.50/share quarterly = $2/year per share
• This is NEW money in your pocket
• You can reinvest it or spend it
• Not all companies pay dividends (growth stocks often don't)

In your portfolio:
• AAPL pays dividends ($0.96/year = 0.5% yield)
• NVDA recently did a 10-for-1 split
• TSLA and AMZN don't pay dividends
