Record Gold Prices and Copper Demand Set Stage for Explosive NASDAQ Opportunity: USAU’s CK Gold Project Could Deliver 100,000+ Ounces Per Year Backed by H.C. Wainwright’s $27.50 Price Target!

U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ: USAU) is uniquely positioned to benefit from soaring gold and copper markets, with its flagship CK Gold Project fully permitted and ready for development in Wyoming.

The project boasts 1.67 million gold-equivalent ounces, including over 1 million ounces of gold and 259 million pounds of copper, and is projected to produce over 110,000 ounces per year.

With gold hitting unprecedented levels and copper shortages looming due to the clean energy transition, USAU provides investors with direct exposure to two of the most strategic commodities driving global economic growth.

Backed by a strong management team led by former Barrick Gold executive George Bee, and institutional investors like Eric Sprott, Terra Capital, and Franklin Templeton, USAU is executing on a clear development path.

H.C. Wainwright’s $27.50 price targetunderscores the upside potential as CK Gold moves toward production, supported by robust pre-feasibility economics and strategic U.S. locations that minimize sovereign risk. With exploration upside at Keystone (Nevada) and Challis (Idaho), USAU is not just a producer but a growth story.

Alphabet’s Pullback: A Second Chance for Long-Term Investors?

Authored by Ryan Hasson. Article Posted: 2/16/2026. 

Key Takeaways

• Shares of Alphabet have declined almost 8% month-over-month, fueled by broader tech weakness and CapEx concerns rather than any deterioration in Alphabet’s core fundamentals.
• The company continues to post staggering growth and earnings beats, topping expectations in its last three consecutive quarters. 
• With shares approaching key support, valuation is becoming more compelling for patient investors.

Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has been one of the strongest performers among mega-cap technology peers over the past year, climbing more than 68% through the Feb. 12 session. That strength has been driven by AI leadership, consistent earnings beats, and accelerating growth across cloud and advertising.

Despite its fundamental dominance, the stock is negative year-to-date and has fallen more than 8% in the past month amid broader tech weakness. The question facing investors now is simple: does this pullback signal early fatigue, or a potential long-term buying opportunity?

Alphabet’s latest quarterly results did little to explain the stock’s recent weakness. The company beat both earnings and revenue expectations. Earnings per share (EPS) came in at $2.82 versus consensus near $2.63, while revenue reached $113.83 billion, topping forecasts.

For the full year, Alphabet reported $402.8 billion in revenue and $10.81 in EPS, marking 17% year-over-year growth. The results underscored the company’s ability to scale profitably while investing heavily in AI and infrastructure.

Google Cloud again stood out. Fourth-quarter cloud revenue surged 48% year-over-year (YOY) to $17.66 billion, pushing the business beyond a $70 billion annualized run rate.

The contract backlog expanded 55% quarter over quarter to $240 billion, reflecting strengthening enterprise demand.

Search revenue climbed 17% YOY, easing concerns that generative AI would materially disrupt Google’s core business. YouTube generated over $60 billion in 2025 revenue from ads and subscriptions combined, and Alphabet now counts 325 million paid consumer subscriptions across its ecosystem.

On the AI front, Gemini has surpassed 750 million monthly active users, and APIs now process more than 10 billion tokens per minute—evidence of rapidly expanding enterprise and developer adoption.

The Selloff: CapEx Concerns or Broader Tech Weakness?

Shares initially dropped after Alphabet guided 2026 capital expenditures (CapEx) of $175 billion to $185 billion. Management said the increased spending will primarily support AI compute capacity, expand cloud infrastructure, and enhance user experiences across its platforms. Competing at scale in AI requires sustained investment, and Alphabet appears willing to lean in.

That said, the recent pullback looks less like a reaction to CapEx itself and more like part of a broader weakness in software and large-cap tech. As high-multiple growth stocks rotate lower, even fundamentally strong names have been caught in the downdraft.

Still, Alphabet’s leadership position remains intact.

AI Momentum and Waymo Expansion Continue

Innovation continues to accelerate. Alphabet recently rolled out upgrades to its Gemini Deep Think model, improving performance in math and scientific reasoning. The model now integrates Google Search to reduce inaccuracies and assist researchers in practical applications—another step toward AI utility at scale.

Meanwhile, Waymo is expanding its autonomous driving footprint. The company has begun offering rides powered by its sixth-generation autonomous system and plans to expand service into 20 additional cities, including Tokyo and London.

Analyst sentiment reflects Alphabet’s resounding fundamentals. The company maintains a Moderate Buy rating, with a consensus price target implying roughly 18% upside—the highest consensus target on record.

Is GOOGL Approaching Value Territory?

From a technical perspective, shares are approaching key support near $300, with secondary support around $280. Holding either level would likely form a higher low within the broader uptrend.

Valuation points in the same direction. Compared to its Magnificent Seven peers, Alphabet’s trailing and forward multiples sit near the middle of the pack. While the stock currently trades slightly above its three-year average P/E, a pullback to the $280–$300 range would bring valuation closer to historical norms and could tilt the risk-reward balance in favor of long-term buyers.

In short: fundamentals remain strong, AI leadership continues to expand, and capital investment reflects ambition more than weakness. If broader tech pressure persists, Alphabet’s pullback may prove less a warning and more an opportunity.
