One thing to know about a stock like Alphabet/Google GOOGL is that a large buyback can provide good support at a time in need. 

Alphabet stock had been under assault by the sellers after reaching new all-time highs in early July. The stock fell a massive 23% from peak to trough in two months, shedding billions in market cap. But in early September the selling abated, as the company likely did some buying of that massive 75 billion dollar buyback plan announced in April 2024.

Today, the company faces severe scrutiny over their market dominance in search and other areas of their business, but the stock chart shows us a company that is improving its posture.  

The indicators are much improved from a month ago, and money flow at the bottom is showing bullish strength as the Chaikin money flow pushes into positive territory.  Momentum remains strong, the stochastics have turned up while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is crossed over for a buy signal.  

Importantly, the candles are blue, which is strongly bullish on the GoNoGo composite of indicators. We also see the formation of a bullish inverse head/shoulders pattern. A move above the 200-day moving average would launch this stock back towards the $195 level.

We rate Alphabet a One in TheStreet Pro Portfolio.
