Valuation
The Oct 23 close compared with the last 12 months of reported results (the four quarters to Jun 30, 2026). Tap a metric to see how it’s calculated.
Price-to-earnings (P/E)
16.1×The Oct 23 close ÷ diluted EPS over the last 12 months ($19.91)
The range covers daily P/E ratios from Oct 15, 2021 to Oct 23, 2026, each based on the previous 12 months of earnings.
GOOGL trades at 16.1× its earnings over the last 12 months, below its 5-year median of 23.5×. In plain terms, buyers are paying about $16 for each $1 of profit from the past year. How to read P/E
Other valuation measures
- 8.7×Last 12 months’ revenue
Market value divided by revenue over the last 12 months. Useful when earnings are small or negative.
P/S = Market cap ÷ Revenue (last 12 months)Price-to-sales ratio - 6.1×Book value as of Jun 30, 2026
Price relative to accounting equity (book value) per share on the Jun 30, 2026 balance sheet. Asset-light companies often trade far above book value.
P/B = Price ÷ Book value per sharePrice-to-book ratio - 11.5×Last 12 months’ EBITDA
Enterprise value divided by EBITDA over the last 12 months. It compares companies with different amounts of debt.
EV/EBITDA = Enterprise value ÷ EBITDA (last 12 months)EV/EBITDA explained - 0.14Last 12 months’ EPS growth
The P/E divided by the growth in diluted EPS over the last 12 months (+112.3% on the 12 months before). It looks backward: near 1 means the P/E roughly matches last year’s growth. Sites that use analysts’ growth forecasts show a different PEG.
PEG = P/E ÷ EPS growth (%) = 16.1 ÷ 112.3 - 1.37%Last 12 months’ free cash flow
Free cash flow over the last 12 months as a share of the company’s market value: the cash the business generated for each dollar of stock.
FCF yield = Free cash flow (last 12 months) ÷ Market capFree cash flow - $3.75TAt the Oct 23 close
What it would cost to buy the whole business: the market cap at the Oct 23 close, plus debt, minus cash and short-term investments from the Jun 30, 2026 balance sheet.

About Alphabet Inc - Class A
The complaint alleges that management failed to disclose that Gemini 3.5 Pro was delivering disappointing training results and that, as a result, its launch would be significantly delayed, leaving the Company's positive statements materially misleading or without a reasonable basis. Plaintiffs further contend the June timeline statements carried no meaningful cautionary language. The action asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. "Alphabet told the market to expect Gemini 3.5 Pro in June, yet the complaint alleges disappointing training results undercut that timeline. Companies that make specific promises to investors about future performance have an obligation to disclose known risks to those projections." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
