Alphabet, the parent company of Google, reported stronger-than-expected earnings per share for the first quarter of 2026. The beat was attributed to gains from non-marketable equity investments, including those in autonomous vehicle company Waymo and artificial intelligence firm Anthropic.
Following the earnings release, Alphabet's stock price rose, according to seekingalpha.com. The outlet stated that this price boost might be corrected, recommending that investors hold GOOG shares rather than buy or sell.
Waymo operates in the self-driving technology sector, while Anthropic focuses on AI development. These equity gains contributed to Alphabet's financial performance in the quarter ending March 31, 2026.
