While keeping buy ratings on both stocks, Nathanson raised his firm's price targets on Alphabet and Meta.
In support of giving Alphabet the edge, he sees faster revenue growth from Meta but at a higher cost.
For one, Meta has consistently delivered revenue and earnings ahead of consensus, rooted in stron advertising revenue from AI advancements.
Bottom line Jim Cramer sees merit in MoffettNathanson's buy calls on Alphabet and Meta and believes it is just about "time to buy both" of these AI and advertising leaders.
