Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is one of the 9 Best Stocks to Buy in Chris Hohn's TCI Fund Portfolio.

Alphabet Inc., trading under the tickers GOOGL and GOOG, collectively represents 7.18% of Chris Hohn's TCI Fund portfolio, with a combined market value of $3,246,398,810. On June 25, 2026, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) unit Waymo registered a local entity, Waymo Germany GmbH, in Germany, according to a Bloomberg report. The move signals the company's plans to expand its driverless robotaxi services into Europe. The entity was registered on June 15 and, based at Google's Munich office, it will offer autonomous ride-hailing services and support third-party commercial offerings. Due to the extensive mapping and testing required for training in the self-driving software, the imminent launch is suspected to be unlikely. However, the move underscores Waymo's global ambitions. The company, which already logs over 500,000 weekly autonomous trips across 11 U.S. cities, is also laying groundwork for future international expansions in London and Tokyo.

Separately, on the same day, Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google Cloud expanded its partnership with Jack Henry (JKHY) to build a proprietary AI security platform for financial institutions. The initiative involves utilizing Google Cloud's agentic defense products and aims to strengthen cyber resilience against emerging threats, thereby enabling banks and credit unions to perform better.

Founded in 2015, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is a holding company that operates Google services such as search engines, ad platforms, Internet browsers, devices, mapping software, app stores, video streaming, and more. Based in California, the company also offers cloud infrastructure and platform services, collaboration tools, and other services for enterprise customers, as well as healthcare-related services and internet services.

While we acknowledge the potential of GOOGL as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
