Alphabet stock (ISIN US02079K3059) now carries a 20-year agreement covering 890 megawatts of nuclear power and more than USD 4.3 billion in reactor upgrades, according to Bloomberg on October 6, 2026. The electricity is scheduled to begin reaching the PJM grid in 2028, linking Alphabet's artificial intelligence expansion to a long-term power supply.

Power deal supports AI capacity

Yahoo Finance reported on October 7, 2026, that Alphabet signed the agreement with Constellation Energy. The USD 4.3 billion investment is tied to upgrades at 11 reactors, while the 890-megawatt capacity gives Alphabet a defined energy source for data-center demand.

The agreement arrives as Alphabet is scaling infrastructure at a high cost. In Q2 2026, capital expenditures reached USD 44.9 billion and free cash flow was negative USD 5.9 billion, according to ScanX News in its Q2 results report. The nuclear contract therefore adds capacity visibility while reinforcing the spending pressure already visible in Alphabet's cash flow.

Cloud growth sets the earnings bar

Alphabet reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 119.8 billion, up 24 percent from the year-earlier quarter. Operating income increased 30 percent to USD 40.8 billion, while the 34 percent operating margin showed that revenue growth translated into higher operating profit.

Google Cloud was the sharper growth engine, with revenue up 82 percent to USD 24.8 billion and operating margin expanding to 35.6 percent from 20.7 percent a year earlier. That comparison matters for investors because the cloud unit is becoming a larger source of earnings as Alphabet funds artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Analysts see room above the stock

Investing.com reported on October 6, 2026, that Wells Fargo raised its Alphabet price target to USD 417 from USD 411 and maintained an Overweight rating. The bank projects external TPU sales of USD 9.2 billion in Q3 2026 and USD 11.5 billion in Q4 2026, with those sales contributing 28 percent and 29 percent upside to consensus Google Cloud revenue in the respective quarters.

MarketBeat lists a Buy consensus from 55 analysts and an average price target of USD 425.72. Against Alphabet's October 7 price of USD 344.58, that target lies 23.5 percent above the stock, while the upcoming Q3 report will test whether Cloud growth and TPU demand can support the valuation.
