Alphabet shares reached an intraday peak of $408.61 on May 18, 2026, and closed at $402.62 on May 13, marking a 25% increase year-to-date.

Analysts remain optimistic, with all 73 tracked by S&P Global issuing a "Strong Buy" rating and an average 12-month price target of $430. Mizuho Securities and Loop Capital have raised their target prices to $460 and $490, respectively, citing Google's transformation into an "AI winner."
