GOOG Rises Ahead of Earnings Report
$Alphabet(GOOG)$
“+4.1 % Earnings Anticipation Bid: GOOG extends to $271 pre-earnings as AI cloud optimism builds”
Market Recap (as of Oct 28 2025)
Alphabet closed at $269.27 (+3.6 %), expecting holding firmly above the $270 handle after a strong three-session rally.
The advance was driven by AI-related momentum across the Mega-Cap tech cohort and expectations of solid Q3 cloud revenues ahead of its earnings release on Oct 29 2025.
Volume reached 22.39 M, above the 21.3 M average and marking a return of institutional buying interest as the Nasdaq 100 set a new monthly high.
Technical Outlook
GOOG continues its steady recovery from early-October lows, with momentum indicators confirming bullish bias but nearing a short-term overbought zone.
RSI (14, 1D) ≈ 69.3 → upper-neutral / near-overbought, signaling strong momentum but some cool-off risk.
MACD (12, 26) remains positive with histogram expanding for a fourth day, indicating sustained trend strength.
EMA 20 > EMA 50 cross confirmed, reinforcing mid-term bullish structure.
Intraday price action on TradingView shows a tight ascending channel with higher lows since $260.
Support / Resistance Levels
Support : $256
Resistance : $272 / $278 / $285
A decisive break above $272 would open the path toward $278 and $285, whereas a failure to hold above $266 may invite short-term profit-taking.
Valuation & Fundamentals
Alphabet’s market cap ≈ $3.26 T, TTM P/E ≈ 28.8, and EPS ≈ 9.37 USD, with a 5-year beta ≈ 1.00, indicating benchmark-level volatility. The company remains well-positioned within AI infrastructure, YouTube ad re-acceleration, and Google Cloud margin expansion themes heading into 2026. Forward dividend yield stands at 0.31 % ($0.84) with solid cash generation backing buybacks.

Base case: Sideways consolidation between $266 – $272 ahead of earnings.
Bull case: Post-earnings beat → targets $278 – $285.
