Alphabet stock (ISIN US02079K1079) traded at USD 338.50 on Nasdaq on September 11, 2026, after rising 1.77 percent that day. The move came as analysts kept a broadly bullish stance and the latest quarter delivered USD 119.80 billion in revenue and USD 9.11 in earnings per share on July 22, 2026.
Targets stay elevated
