Alphabet (GOOGL) Stock Forecast: Next 30 Days
Over the next 30 days, the calibrated 80% price distribution spans $260.37 to $310.58 from a current base of $282.58. Model estimates indicate a 6% probability of dropping over 10% and a 10% probability of rising over 10%. Recent Q3 earnings triggered a sharp 12% gap down driven by high AI CapEx and an EPS miss, leaving upside capped by institutional repositioning despite consensus 12-month targets remaining well above current trading levels.
