Alphabet Inc. Class C shares (NASDAQ: GOOG) ticked up modestly Thursday, trading around $338.38 after gaining about 0.19% early in the session, as investors digested fresh artificial intelligence product announcements and positioned for the tech giant's highly anticipated first-quarter earnings next week.
The stock has climbed more than 12% in the past month and roughly 120% over the trailing year, reflecting renewed confidence in Google's AI strategy despite elevated capital spending plans for 2026. Volume remained solid but below recent peaks as the market awaited the April 29 report.
