Alphabet (GOOGL) Q3 earnings preview: US$200 billion AI capex test puts major uptrend at risk
Alphabet (GOOGL) heads into Q3 2026 earnings as investors assess whether accelerating Google Cloud growth can justify nearly US$200 billion in AI infrastructure spending. With revenue expected to rise 25% year-on-year, attention turns to Search advertising, operating margins, free cash flow and 2027 capex guidance. Technically, GOOGL has broken below its 50- and 200-day moving averages, with 359.44 as pivotal resistance. A break below 300.44 could expose 270.70.
