Alphabet Inc. (ISIN US02079K3059, Nasdaq: GOOGL) finished the September 17, 2026 session at USD 342.87 on the Nasdaq, after trading between an intraday low of USD 337.45 and a high of USD 344.70, per Nasdaq data cited by MarketBeat. According to price data referenced by MarketBeat, the stock’s 1.3 percent advance coincided with a rebound in major technology shares.
In the same session, Alphabet’s gain outpaced a 1.76 percent rise in the index tracking large U.S. technology stocks, as reported by Sohu, which noted that Google rose 1.27 percent alongside other megacap names. That performance left Alphabet trading close to valuation levels discussed by GuruFocus, which highlighted a price around USD 342.87 as modestly above its intrinsic value estimate.
Today’s drivers to watch
Today, September 18, 2026, Alphabet enters the new session with investor attention still on regulatory developments in its advertising technology business and its heavy investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure.
