Alphabet shares slip 1.08% while reports weigh earnings ahead

Alphabet shares fell 1.08% to 317.28 dollars on 23 October 2026, according to our end-of-day data. The move is measured against the previous close (the price when trading ended the day before).

One report looks at the stock before the company's quarterly results, which it calls Q3 earnings. Another report compares Alphabet with Microsoft and Amazon and asks whether AI (artificial intelligence) investments and Google Cloud growth could lift the shares.

A separate report says an investment firm sold Alphabet shares and bought Freenome shares. The reports do not say what happens next.
