Will Alphabet Stock Surge After Oct. 28?
A revenue beat couldn't keep Alphabet's share price from falling after its last earnings report.
Alphabet (GOOG -0.97%)(GOOGL -1.06%) will release its Q3 2026 earnings on Oct. 28, with analysts predicting a revenue of $127.8 billion and EPS of $3. Historically, Alphabet's stock price has been unpredictable after earnings, fluctuating higher and lower despite beating expectations. The company's impressive Q2 2026 performance was largely due to unrealized gains from investments in Space Exploration Technologies and Anthropic, though adjusted EPS missed estimates.
Management raised 2026 capex guidance, and the company faced negative free cash flow for the first time. Investors may react to capex updates, 2027 guidance, and Google Cloud revenue. However, long-term investors should focus on a company's overall performance rather than post-earnings reactions.
