Published on 09/04/2026 at 19:18 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Alphabet C stock (US02079K1079) traded at USD 339.67 after hours on September 3, 2026, up USD 0.59, or 0.17 percent. A favorable antitrust ruling gave the stock a new market backdrop after the closing price on September 2, 2026 stood at USD 333.78.
Revenue and EPS stay strong
In the quarter ended July 22, 2026, Alphabet reported revenue of USD 119.80 billion and earnings per share of USD 9.11, according to MarketBeat. Revenue rose 24.2 percent year over year, while EPS exceeded the consensus estimate of USD 2.87 by USD 6.24.
The same summary puts the net margin at 54.77 percent and return on equity at 51.32 percent. Analysts tracked by MarketBeat still see EPS of 20.5 for the current year, which keeps the valuation debate open even after the ruling.
Valuation and chart levels
MarketBeat and CNBC both place Alphabet near a market capitalization of about USD 4.1 trillion. CNBC also showed a 52-week range of USD 225.12 to USD 404.47, with a previous close of USD 333.78 and volume of 1,398,239 shares on September 3, 2026.
That leaves the stock below its 52-week high but above the recent closing level. The two moving averages cited by MarketBeat, USD 346.95 for 50 days and USD 340.75 for 200 days, show where the chart is currently trying to settle.
Google Cloud matters most
Google Cloud remains the most important product line in the latest quarter. Seeking Alpha highlighted 82 percent year-over-year cloud revenue growth and a 14.9 percentage-point expansion in operating margin in Q2 2026, a combination that helps explain why investors still focus on the division after the headline ruling.
Stock level after hours
Alphabet C stock closed the latest session at USD 333.78 on September 2, 2026, and traded at USD 339.67 after hours on September 3, 2026, according to CNBC. The market value cited on September 4, 2026 was about USD 4.1 trillion.
