Big Tech dominates markets but faces risks like slowing growth, AI dependency, and inflated valuations. Dividend stalwarts offer a safer, smarter alternative.

By focusing on dividend stalwarts, investors can achieve long-term growth, income, and stability—outperforming tech-heavy portfolios over time.

Despite DOJ's antitrust lawsuit, I believe Google shares remain a strong buy due to the company's valuable assets and potential higher worth if broken up. My analysis shows Google's main revenue drivers, like Google Cloud, YouTube, and Search, are worth more individually, indicating significant upside even if split. The DOJ's proposed remedies, including divesting Chrome and stopping exclusionary agreements, seem like setbacks but won't drastically harm Google's overall business.

The likelihood of a Chrome divestiture is low; softer remedies like restricting exclusive agreements and opening Chrome to third-party search engines are more probable.
