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.

Alternative ways to invest in Waymo (Google)
Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Waymo (Google)), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Waymo (Google) is a major part of the NASDAQ, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

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 20x. In other words, Waymo (Google)'s shares trade at around 20x 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): 34.58
- Tesla (TSLA.US): 133.55
- Uber Technologies (UBER.US): 15.94
Waymo (Google)'s "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1318. A PEG ratio close to 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares offer reasonable value for the current rate of 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): 1.44
- Tesla (TSLA.US): 3.31
- Uber Technologies (UBER.US): 43.21
Waymo (Google)'s EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $129.5 billion (£98 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$120.5 billion
- Tesla (TSLA.US): USD$13 billion
- Uber Technologies (UBER.US): USD$3.5 billion
