July 02, 2025 — Scotiabank (TSX:BNS) has raised its price target for Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) stock to $240.00 from $200.00, while maintaining a Sector Outperform rating. This update reflects the Canadian bank's positive outlook on Alphabet's improved trends and performance.According to InvestingPro data, 12 analysts have recently revised their earnings estimates upward, with targets ranging from $185 to $237 [1]. Scotiabank cited several factors contributing to this positive outlook, including improved search trends, the growing dominance of YouTube as the most-watched video provider on televisions in the United States, and the acceleration of the artificial intelligence narrative.
