1 Tech Stock That's Too Good to Pass On as We Approach the Fourth Quarter
Its performance this year has been underwhelming, but its long-term appeal is strong.
As September nears its midpoint, investors are already pondering what stocks to purchase as we edge closer to the final quarter of 2026. While numerous companies exhibit promising momentum, one particular entity that may be overlooked is Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL). The search giant has seen a 10.5% increase in value since the market closed on September 15th; however, it's underperforming the S&P 500.
This underwhelming performance, coupled with its current trading price, makes Alphabet an attractive buy at present. Analysts predict the stock will conclude the year strongly and remain an excellent long-term investment. Alphabet boasts a diverse portfolio, yet its core lies in Google Search, which contributed nearly 53% of its $119.8 billion in revenue for Q2.
