Alphabet A Stock Surges 1.8% as Cloud Business Boosts Growth

Alphabet A stock closed at around $338.50 on the Nasdaq on September 11, 2026, after a day of trading that saw it gain roughly 1.8% compared to its previous close.

This performance outpaced the wider market, as the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite index rose by about 0.7% during the same session.

The stock's gain was seen as a positive sign for large-cap growth names, which have faced pressure in recent sessions.

Additionally, Alphabet's move followed positive commentary around its cloud business, including a discussion of its $514 billion cloud backlog and strong revenue growth at Google Cloud.
