GOOG stock turns flat after early spike as EU sets Wiz deal deadline and Cantor upgrades Alphabet

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 10:18 (EST) — Regular session Alphabet’s non-voting Class C shares were little changed on Thursday after EU regulators set a Feb. 10 deadline for an initial call on Google’s planned Wiz purchase and after Cantor Fitzgerald lifted its rating.
