Alphabet (GOOGL) Stock Surges Past $180 as Monthly Gains Top 16%

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), the parent of Google, closed Monday’s session at $180.31, jumping 1.79% on the day and extending a sharp recovery that’s seen the stock rise 16.41% over the past month. The rebound follows a period of underperformance earlier this year, but momentum appears to be shifting in favor of the tech giant.

Alphabet shares have now outpaced both the S&P 500’s one-month gain of 7.21% and the broader Computer and Technology sector’s 11.17% growth. Over the past five days alone, GOOGL is up 7.6%, signaling renewed investor confidence as Wall Street eyes the company’s upcoming earnings.

Analysts expect Alphabet to report Q2 EPS of $2.12 and revenue of $78.86 billion, which would mark a 12% increase in earnings and a 10.5% jump in revenue from the same quarter last year. For full-year 2025, the Zacks Consensus Estimate projects earnings of $9.47 per share and revenue of $323.7 billion.

From a valuation perspective, GOOGL trades at a Forward P/E of 18.34, slightly below the industry average. Its PEG ratio stands at 1.11, indicating reasonable valuation relative to expected earnings growth—better than the industry average of 1.36.

Despite still being down 5.44% year-to-date, Alphabet’s long-term track record remains strong, boasting a +148% return over the past five years. As the company continues to invest heavily in AI, cloud services, and digital advertising, many see the recent rebound as a potential launching point for new highs.
