• Search Ad Cannibalization: Investor anxiety persists over AI Overviews/summaries changing user click habits and slowing traditional search ad growth.

• Google Cloud Growth: Strong enterprise cloud demand and a massive backlog ($514B–$561B) remain the primary bull-case engine offsetting advertising headwinds.
