Alphabet has seen its shares rebound just 1.5% in the ten days following its worst single-day market loss, remaining down 11.3% from the pre-earnings price of $324.89.

A December 18 285/300 bull call spread offers investors a defined-risk vehicle to trade a rebound with a breakeven price of $292.07. However, external market headwinds, including upcoming Nvidia earnings on November 17, continue to create volatility across the artificial intelligence sector.

The muted recovery stands out for a company that posted its 13th straight quarter of double-digit revenue growth in the same report, with Google Cloud revenue more than doubling. Alphabet's earnings were the first major crack to appear in the AI trade and foreshadowed a series of volatile events for the complex, including the election and the growing scandal enveloping Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
Still, a bullish case for Alphabet rests not in its post-earnings concerns being unfounded, but rather on its growth being strong enough to withstand them. On Monday, Google launched two new systems built on its custom AI chip, the TPU, a sign the company keeps evolving, and the debate over AI and search is far from settled.
