While you can't invest directly in Waymo, you can buy shares in Alphabet (Google), its parent company (and it's a similar story for Zoox, Amazon's equivalent autonomous driving lift service).
Alphabet is listed on the Nasdaq with the ticker "GOOGL", where it's traded in US dollars and is a constituent of the S&P 500 index. Don't forget that Alphabet has other brands under its umbrella. So by investing in Alphabet, you're effectively also buying into Google and YouTube, for example. The movement of Alphabet's share price will be affected by more than just the fortunes of Waymo.

Latest updates for Waymo (Google)
June 2, 2025: A Barclays analyst, Ross Sandler, warned that the possibility of Google being forced to sell off one or more of its subsidiaries (potentially Chrome), "while low, has increased in our view". In a note to investors, Sandler said that such a "black swan" event could knock Google's share price by 15-25%, while "well funded AI companies like OpenAI, Anthropic or perhaps Perplexity" could stand to benefit from the chance to swoop on the popular browser.
May 12, 2025: Magnificent 7 stocks all responded positively to news of a 90-day lowering of import tariffs on goods from China (from a prohibitive 145%, in some cases, to a far more bearable 30%).
May 7, 2025: While testifying in the DoJ case against Alphabet, Apple services chief Eddy Cue said that Apple will be shifting towards AI services from the likes of OpenAI and Perplexity for searches in the Safari browser. (Eddy) Cue a 7%+ downturn in Alphabet's stock price. But Apple also saw a decline in Safari searches in April – the first time that's happened. And given the simbiotic relationship (Google pays Apple billions annually to be the default search engin on iPhones), Apple's stock inevitably declined too, albeit by a less seismic 2%.
May 6, 2025: The US DoJ has put forward a proposal that Alphabet breaks up its Google advertising business to end Google's monopolies and restore competition.

Is Waymo (Google) under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, let alone a "Magnificent 7" stock, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Waymo (Google) P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Waymo (Google)'s current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 19x. In other words, Waymo (Google)'s shares trade at around 19x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
However, Waymo (Google)'s P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
- Amazon-com (AMZN.US): 34.15
- Tesla (TSLA.US): 185.09
- Uber Technologies (UBER.US): 14.67
Waymo (Google)'s "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.3081. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Waymo (Google)'s future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Waymo (Google)'s PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
- Amazon-com (AMZN.US): 2.71
- Tesla (TSLA.US): 5.60
- Uber Technologies (UBER.US): 13.49
Waymo (Google)'s EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $135.7 billion (£98.7 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of Waymo (Google)'s overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
- Amazon-com (AMZN.US): USD$126.1 billion
- Tesla (TSLA.US): USD$12.5 billion
- Uber Technologies (UBER.US): USD$4.6 billion
