Alpha Score of 72 reflects strong overall profile with moderate momentum, strong value, strong quality, moderate sentiment.
Alphabet slipped 0.55% to $344.00, a quiet session for a stock that has rallied 75% from its 52-week low of $196.60. The pullback comes as the momentum sub-score sits at 59.2, the weakest of the four Alpha Score pillars. Quality remains the standout at 94.3, supported by a 54.8% net margin and 115.3% EPS growth over the past year. Revenue grew 20.1% year over year. At 17.31 times earnings, the stock trades below the sector median P/E of roughly 22, which the value sub-score of 79.5 reflects. The 52-week high of $408.61 is 18.8% above today's close. Watch for next quarter's cloud revenue growth, which has been the primary driver of the multiple expansion this year.
Alphabet shares slipped 0.13% to $345.90, a quiet session for a stock sitting near the top of its 52-week range. The business is printing numbers most mega-caps envy: revenue up 20.1% year over year, earnings per share more than doubling on a 54.8% net margin. At 17.3 times earnings, the multiple is hardly stretched for a company growing earnings at triple-digit clips. The Alpha Score sits at 72.7, with quality and value sub-scores both well above 70. Sentiment is the weak link at 52, suggesting the market is still pricing in regulatory and competitive risk. The 52-week high of $408.61 is about 18% above current levels — a reachable target if the ad business holds and cloud margins keep expanding. Next quarter’s cloud revenue print is the number to watch.
Alphabet shares rose 0.82% to $346.36, trading near the midpoint of its 52-week range. The stock carries a P/E of 17.74, below the broader market's multiple, with a net margin of 54.8% and revenue growth of 20.1% year over year. EPS growth of 115.3% reflects a low base from last year's charge, but the quality score of 94.3 in the Alpha Score framework suggests the company's earnings power is durable. A report that EU regulators plan to hit Apple with a preliminary DMA violation over its App Store fees—risking fines up to $3 billion—kept the regulatory spotlight on Big Tech. For Alphabet, the watch is whether similar scrutiny extends to Google's ad tech or search default agreements. The next catalyst is the April 29 earnings report, where guidance on cloud revenue and AI infrastructure spending will matter more than the headline numbers.
Alphabet shares slipped 0.08% to $343.54, a quiet session for a stock that has rallied 76% from its 52-week low of $194.33. The stock trades at 17.74 times earnings, a discount to the broader market given its 54.8% net margin and 20.1% revenue growth. A new report from Akeneo shows two-thirds of Google searches now end without a click. With AI-generated summaries, that figure reaches 80%. The data points to a structural shift in how users interact with search results, one that could pressure the ad-driven revenue model over time. Google's quality score of 94.3 on AlphaScala's framework remains best-in-class, but the momentum sub-score of 53 suggests the market is already pricing in some of these headwinds. Watch for the next quarterly ad revenue print, due in late April, for evidence of whether clickless search is hitting the top line.
GOOGL fell to $343.80, losing 3.84% in a session where oil headlines and pre-CPI positioning hit large-cap tech. The stock sits 16% off its 52-week high of $408.61, though still up 77% from the $194.33 low. Revenue grew 20.1% YoY and EPS surged 115.3%, pushing net margin to 54.8%. The Alpha Score of 72.5 is carried by quality at 94.3 and value at 78.8. Momentum at 58.4 and sentiment at 58.7 are the drags. At 17.74x earnings, the multiple is below the sector median. Wednesday's CPI print at 8:30 a.m. ET will set the tone for rates and growth names. A hot number could extend the rotation out of mega-cap tech.

Alphabet Inc. held its annual meeting on June 5, 2026. Shareholders voted on 14 items. The amended and restated 2021 Stock Plan passed, adding 200 million shares of Class C capital stock to the reserve. All 10 director nominees were elected, including Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Sundar Pichai. Ernst & Young was ratified as the independent auditor for fiscal 2026. 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. None received majority support. The proposal on equal shareholder voting drew the largest yes vote among shareholder items, with about 3.85 billion for and 8.5 billion against. The lowest support went to a viewpoint diversity risk report, with just 19.2 million votes in favor.
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.
