Alphabet Inc. Class C shares edged higher in morning trading Tuesday, climbing 0.26% to $336.28 as Wall Street prepared for the tech giant's first-quarter 2026 earnings report scheduled for April 29, with focus on Google Cloud growth, AI advancements and the impact of massive capital spending plans.
At 10:25 a.m. EDT, GOOG stock had gained $0.89 from the previous session amid generally positive sentiment across major indexes. The modest advance followed a period of volatility in which Alphabet shares have recovered from earlier 2026 dips while trading well below their February peak near $343. The stock closed Monday around $335.40 after pulling back from recent highs.
