Alphabet’s post-earnings selloff after October 28 Q3 results, with revenue at $127.6 billion (25% YoY) but EPS missing estimates due to $8.7 billion investment losses and unchanged 2026 capex guidance amid rising 2027 expectations, drove the stock from roughly $3.97 trillion to $3.44 trillion. Google Cloud’s 103% surge to $30.7 billion highlights AI infrastructure strength, yet slower search growth and free-cash-flow pressure create near-term uncertainty. With the share price now hovering near the $3.00–3.50 trillion and $3.50–4.00 trillion bands, trader consensus reflects balanced views on whether rebound momentum or sustained valuation compression prevails by month-end, consistent with aggregated real-capital positioning ahead of any further macro or sector catalysts.
