Alphabet shares opened November 11, 2026, near $290 after closing at $287.38 the prior session, buoyed by fresh AI momentum including the Gemini 4 Carbon rollout and a $10 billion commitment to Anthropic’s IPO placement alongside Nvidia. Traders are weighing sustained Google Cloud growth—up over 100% year-over-year in Q3—against the October earnings miss that triggered a sharp selloff and lingering equity investment losses. Strong buy ratings persist with average price targets above $400, though broader tech sector flows and volatility measures like the VIX remain key swing factors into the close. No major data releases are scheduled for the session.
