2024-05-01 05:20:00 ET
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) are two of the world's most well-known tech companies. Microsoft owns Windows, Office, and Azure -- the world's second largest cloud infrastructure platform after Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) Web Services (AWS). Its Xbox business also makes it a leading video game company, it sells its own Surface PCs, and its Bing search engine gives it a firm foothold in the search and advertising markets.
Alphabet's Google owns the world's largest search engine, mobile operating system, web browser, webmail platform, and streaming video platform. Its Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is also the world's third largest cloud infrastructure platform.
Microsoft and Alphabet operate different business models, but both companies have significantly ramped up their investments in the artificial intelligence ( AI ) market in recent years. Which of these tech giants is a better play on that secular trend?
