GOOG stock rises after hours as Alphabet sets Feb. 4 earnings date; Wiz deal deadline in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 16:34 EST — After-hours Alphabet’s non-voting Class C shares (GOOG) rose 1.1% in after-hours trade on Thursday to $326.01, following a choppy session that had the stock swinging between $322.23 and $329.88.

Google stock (GOOG) starts 2026 higher — here’s what could move Alphabet next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 09:54 ET — Market closed Alphabet Inc’s Class C shares (GOOG) closed up about 0.5% at $315.32 on Friday, the first session of 2026, giving the Google parent a market value of about $2.94 trillion. Alphabet’s Class A shares (GOOGL) gained about 0.7%. The muted move matters because the first full week of January brings a heavy U.S. calendar that can reset expectations for interest rates — a key driver for high-valuation technology stocks. Fed funds futures, interest-rate contracts that reflect traders’ expectations, suggest little chance of a cut at the Fed’s late-January meeting but

Google stock’s best year since 2009 sets up a tougher 2026 test for Alphabet’s AI spending

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 08:10 ET Alphabet, the parent of Google, is starting 2026 after its shares rose 65% in 2025, the company’s best annual performance since 2009. The stock hit its 2025 low in April before rallying more than 100% from those levels, CNBC reported. The rally matters now because investors are shifting from the “AI story” to results that show the spending is paying off. Expectations for profit growth are cooling even as Alphabet ramps up investment in computing infrastructure needed to build and run AI systems. That puts pressure on Google Cloud to keep gaining share
