Alpha Score of 75 reflects strong overall profile with strong momentum, strong value, strong quality, moderate sentiment.
GOOGL slipped 0.36% to $359.91, a quiet session for a stock that sits $42 from its 52-week high. The 25.64 P/E sits above the sector median but near Alphabet's own five-year average, while trailing EPS of $13.11 and 17.4% revenue growth reinforce the earnings story. The Alpha Score at 76.6 is driven by a quality sub-score of 93.1 — net margin at 37.9% is among the widest in Big Tech. Momentum at 72.5 and sentiment at 68.7 suggest the run has room but needs fresh catalysts. Value at 71.5 is solid for a mega-cap but not the draw rate often is. The antitrust overhang remains in the background, though no new filings landed this week. Next quarter's cloud and ad revenue prints will test whether the current multiple holds. The Street will also watch commentary around AI infrastructure spend.
GOOGL gained 1.07% to $361.21, holding within striking distance of its 52-week high. The move came without a stock-specific catalyst; the broader tech sector drifted up. At 25.64 times trailing earnings, the multiple looks reasonable against 48.5% EPS growth and 17.4% revenue expansion. Net margins of 37.9% remain among the widest in the S&P 500. The quality sub-score of 93.1 in AlphaScala's model supports the idea that profitability is not eroding. Momentum and sentiment scores are respectable at 74.5 and 68.5, while value at 71.5 suggests the valuation is not stretched relative to peers. What to watch: Alphabet reports next quarter's earnings in late July. The ad market's trajectory and AI investment spending will be the focus. Any pullbacks toward the $340 support level would test the premium the market has awarded.
GOOGL rose 1% to $357.37 in a quiet session, no company-specific news emerged. The stock is about 11% off its 52-week high. P/E sits at 25.6, net margin near 38%. Revenue grew 17.4% year over year, earnings per share jumped 48.5%. The Alpha Score of 75.2 is held up by a quality sub-score of 93.1. Momentum trails at 65.1, value at 71.5, sentiment at 72.9. That quality-momentum spread is a point to watch. The next big catalyst is Google's July earnings. Cloud revenue, ad trends, and any AI regulatory moves will be the focus. For now, the stock is strong on fundamentals but needs a fresh spark to push toward the 52-week high.
GOOGL added $16.26 to close at $353.65, pushing the stock further from the $165 low it touched a year ago. Revenue climbed 17.4% from the same quarter last year, while EPS grew 48.5%. The net margin of 37.9% points to an operation that converts more of every dollar into profit than most companies in the index. The Alpha Score sits at 69.2, with three subscores standing apart. Quality registers 93.1, a reflection of that margin and the earnings trajectory. Value scores 71.5, mild relief for a stock that trades at 25.6 times earnings. Sentiment lags at 49.3, a reminder that not everyone is convinced the AI capex cycle pays off as advertised. Next week the question is whether momentum can regain its footing. The momentum subscore of 60.8 is the weak link in the profile. A clean close above $360 would put the 52W high of $402 in sight. A stutter here and the stock drifts back into the $340s.
Alphabet closed at $343.71, down 0.46% in a session with little fresh news. The stock stays within 16% of its 52-week high of $408.61, a level set in February. P/E of 27.97 is far from bargain territory, but 17.4% revenue growth and 48.5% EPS growth justify the multiple. Net margin of 37.9% is a standout — it ranks among the highest in the S&P 500. The Alpha Score's quality component rates that at 93.1, reflecting strong profitability and a clean balance sheet. Momentum and sentiment sub-scores are middling at 52 and 51, suggesting the market isn't chasing the stock here. The next major catalyst is the quarterly report due later this month. A miss on cloud revenue or margin guidance could test support near $330.
Alphabet Inc. held its annual meeting on June 5, 2026. Shareholders voted on 14 items.

The advisory vote on executive compensation passed with roughly 9.99 billion votes in favor and 2.33 billion against. All nine shareholder-sponsored proposals failed. The proposals covered topics including enhanced climate goal disclosure, water usage tied to AI development, equal shareholder voting, viewpoint diversity risk, politicized content moderation, U.S. immigration policy impact, data privacy, AI board oversight, AI-generated misinformation reporting, and AI data usage oversight.

Alphabet Inc. filed an 8-K on June 5, 2026, reporting the completion of a significant capital raise through the issuance of mandatory convertible preferred stock. On June 2, 2026, Alphabet entered into an underwriting agreement to sell 167.5 million Series A depositary shares and 167.5 million Series B depositary shares, each representing a 1/20th interest in a share of 6.25% Series A and Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively. The underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment options on June 3, 2026, purchasing an additional 25 million depositary shares of each series. The offerings closed on June 5, 2026. In connection with the pricing and the over-allotment exercise, Alphabet entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with the underwriters or their affiliates to reduce potential dilution upon conversion of the preferred stock. The cap price for the Series A capped calls is initially $532.6704 per share of Class A common stock, and for the Series B capped calls is initially $527.7974 per share of Class C capital stock. The preferred stock carries a 6.25% annual dividend rate on the $1,000 per share liquidation preference, payable quarterly starting August 15, 2026, through May 15, 2029. Unless earlier converted, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into between 2.2520 and 2.8160 shares of Class A common stock, and each share of Series B Preferred Stock will convert into between 2.2740 and 2.8420 shares of Class C capital stock, on or about May 15, 2029. The filing also notes that the certificates of designations for the preferred stock were filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on June 4, 2026, establishing the preferences, limitations, and relative rights of each series.
On June 5, 2026, Alphabet Inc. filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to announce the appointment of Marsida Saraci as its Principal Accounting Officer, effective immediately. Ms. Saraci, age 47, has been with Alphabet since April 2011, most recently serving as Vice President, Finance - Deputy Controller. Prior to joining Alphabet, she spent over eight years at KPMG. In connection with her appointment, she will receive two grants of restricted stock units (GSUs): one award of $280,000 vesting in 1/20th monthly increments beginning in July 2026, and a second award of $440,000 vesting in 1/32nd monthly increments beginning in July 2026. The number of GSUs for each award will be determined by dividing the award amount by the average closing price of Alphabet's Class C capital stock during June 2026. Vested GSUs entitle the grantee to receive one share of Class C capital stock per unit. The GSUs are subject to Alphabet's Amended and Restated 2021 Stock Plan and the applicable award agreement. This filing does not report any financial results, changes in guidance, or other material operational events.
On June 4, 2026, Alphabet Inc. filed an 8-K disclosing multiple capital raising transactions. The company entered into an equity distribution agreement with Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, and Morgan Stanley to sell up to $40 billion of Class A and Class C common stock through an at-the-market offering program. Separately, Alphabet completed an underwritten stock offering of 25,459,689 shares of Class A common stock at $355.1982 per share and 25,459,689 shares of Class C capital stock at $351.8018 per share, with underwriters fully exercising over-allotment options for an additional 3,818,953 shares of each class, raising approximately $18 billion in gross proceeds. Additionally, Alphabet entered into a securities purchase agreement with an affiliate of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. for the private placement of 14,212,035 Class A shares and 14,359,656 Class C shares at prices of approximately $351.81 and $348.20 per share, respectively, for gross proceeds of $10 billion. The company also announced a depositary share offering of two series of mandatory convertible preferred stock, expected to close on June 5, 2026. These offerings were made under a shelf registration statement filed on June 1, 2026.
Alphabet Inc. filed a Form 8-K on May 21, 2026, reporting the closing of its underwritten public offerings of Japanese yen-denominated senior notes.
