Alphabet stock enters the week of November 2-8 with the U.S. midterm elections and the October employment report as the main scheduled market events. The events could influence expectations for fiscal policy, regulation and interest rates across large technology companies.

Politics and labor data in focus

U.S. voters go to the polls on Tuesday, November 3, with control of both chambers of Congress at stake, according to Seeking Alpha. The publication says Republicans hold a narrow House majority and a 53-47 Senate advantage, while recent polling has pointed to a strong chance of a Democratic House victory and a more competitive Senate contest.

Attention then turns to the October employment report on Friday, November 6. Economists cited by Seeking Alpha expect 65,000 jobs to have been added, compared with 29,000 in September, while the unemployment rate is expected to remain at 4.2%.

What the week could mean

For Alphabet, the political result may shape the broader regulatory and fiscal backdrop, while the labor report may influence the path of interest rates. Those factors can affect valuation assumptions for companies whose earnings expectations extend well into the future.

Alphabet stock traded at 252.98 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 16:57 CET on Sunday, November 1, 2026.
