Tech giant Alphabet is "the cheapest" of all the mega-cap names, according to Matt Orton, chief market strategist at Raymond James Investment Management.
With the U.S. consumer "holding up well," its ad-driven revenues are "incredibly strong," he told CNBC's " Street Signs Asia " on Monday.
"That's probably the cheapest by far — the cheapest of all the mega-cap names, and so I think there's a lot of durability to Alphabet," he concluded.
Orton said what's "most exciting" about Alphabet is the long-term artificial intelligence opportunity, adding that the tech giant is underappreciated in that regard.
Alphabet versus Microsoft Alphabet and Microsoft will be the two long-term winners in AI, according to Orton.
