Market view · as of Oct 2, 2026
Price (last ~year)
Alphabet shares fell 1.7% to $338.24 after a single after-hours session erased roughly $160 billion in market value, leaving the stock down 6.5% over three months and 15.9% below its 52-week high. Fundamentals remain strong: Q2 revenue rose 24.2% YoY to $119.80B with net income of $112.19B, and the company has beaten EPS estimates four straight quarters, most recently $9.11 versus $2.88 expected. Free cash flow turned negative at -$5.86B last quarter as capex of $44.92B outpaced $39.07B in operating cash flow, though leverage stays modest at 0.7x debt/EBITDA. The stock trades at a P/E of 17.09 against an analyst target of $429.36, with legal risk easing after a federal judge dismissed the Chegg and Penske Media lawsuits over AI overviews.
