Since then, both companies have been prioritizing onefficiency and trying to scale back on their over hired employees. Yet, Meta has been way more efficient and quicker in scaling back.

Reward</h2><p><b>Meta</b> won back bullish investor sentiment by cutting costs and by not losing attention of their strong core business. The stock was absurdly low priced compared to the cash cow it is. In Q4, the company showed investors it can keep growing the family of apps monthly active people. Although in America and Europe growth is stagnant, emerging countries in Asia (Vietnam, India,...) and South-America should not be forgotten. Lot of those countries have yet to see a digitalization boom.</p><p>However, as value investors, the stock price is much less interesting, than it was in November. The fundamentals are now closer to fair value and spending is high in an unprofitable metaverse business. At this point, the outcome of the metaverse spending has become increasingly more important to take in mind. Therefore, the risk vs reward balance is now relatively neutral for me.</p><p>On the other hand, <b>Alphabet</b> got a possible new competitor in the search engine battle. Microsoft is after market share with a combined engine of Bing and ChatGPT. ChatGPT is the brand new AI, that seems to know all answers and can bring it to you in a conversational interaction. People were in love on first sight. Nevertheless, Investors of Alphabet were not so happy. The stock price took some serious hits, which makes it interesting for value investors, since so far the fundamentals haven't changed.</p><p>It is good to know that this is not the first time, that Bing aka Microsoft has tried to get into the search engine competition.Partnershipswith Yahoo! and Facebook did not make it successful and Google kept a powerful position.</p><p>Next to that Investors seem to forget the investments Alphabet has done over the past years. Alphabet was one of thefirst companies to invest in AI. Back in 2014, the company spent $10 million on Dark Blue Labs & Vision Factory, which is now integrated in DeepMind. Further, Alphabet has its own conversational AI bot namedLaMDA, which is built on the Transformer neural network architecture. Transformer was invented by Google Research and has also helped building ChatGPT. Google gains more data than any other company and should easily replicate ChatGPT withBard(based on LaMDA).</p><h2>Takeaway</h2><p>For me, Alphabet is the clear choice to invest my money right now. I have trimmed my Meta position by 50% on the 3th of February. On the other hand, I have been buying more shares of Alphabet. Currently, I hold a 10.3% allocation in Alphabet and 2.3% allocation in Meta.</p><p>Alphabet offers me less risks and similar if not better rewards going forward. The company is not behind in the AI game and has a strong position going forward. Of course, it will always be difficult to stay on top of the game, nonetheless Alphabet's investments has been in the right sectors.</p><p>The company's balance sheet is sitting on $113 billion in cash and short term investments. This gives more than enough options for future investments and buying back shares at these prices. In addition,two notable investors, Li Lu and Seth Klarman have increased their stake in Alphabet by respectively 168% and 190%. The PE of 20 is rather low compared to the average of the last years, so the bearish sentiment offers a great opportunity in one of the strongest moat businesses in the world.</p><p>I remain my Strong Buy rating for Alphabet and downgrade Meta to a Hold.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Alphabet Vs.
