What happened

Well supportedReported by 18 independent outlets

Alphabet lost $482 billion in market value on October 30, 2026, marking its largest single-day decline ever. The drop followed the release of its third-quarter financial results, where Alphabet reported Google Cloud revenue grew 103% to $30.71 billion, though GAAP EPS missed estimates. This market reaction reflects growing investor demand for measurable returns on AI capital expenditures.
