Technology giant Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has become one of Cramer’s top stocks over the past couple of months.

(NASDAQ:GOOGL)’s shares are up by 70.5% over the past year and flat year-to-date. Citizens maintained a Market Outperform rating and a $385 share price target on the firm in February. Artificial intelligence was at the heart of the coverage as the firm pointed out that Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL)’s competence with Gemini was enabling the company to expand its total addressable market in the search engine space. Roth/MKM raised the share price target to $395 from $365 and kept a Buy rating. It pointed out that Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL)’s third quarter earnings saw the firm beat estimates across search engine, cloud computing, and subscription segments. Like Roth, Cramer is also impressed by the earnings report:

“I really want to buy Alphabet out of this, because Alphabet has, better, man you know they have a better backlog.

“But I want to buy Alphabet, because they are, they have this, this backlog, you know the performance obligations, they’re catching up, it’s huge. I was surprised, Alphabet’s on fire, for cloud, on fire, it’s terrific.

“And how about Alphabet being a steal here. . .

“. . .the value of that company is just awesome.”
