Steve Weiss of Short Hills Capital Partners said Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) is extremely cheap.

Alphabet’s Google faced a massive 2.1-billion-euro lawsuit from 32 media groups, including Berlin-based Axel Springer SE and Oslo, Norway-based Schibsted Media Group. The plaintiffs accused the tech giant of inflicting financial losses through its digital advertising practices.

The lawsuit highlights Google’s alleged market dominance abuse, suggesting that without such practices, these media companies would have earned significantly more from advertising and paid less for ad tech services, Reuters reported.
