Argus Research’s Joseph Bonner went from $365 to $385, and Needham & Co. along with China Renaissance both pushed their Alphabet stock target up to $400.

Deutsche Bank moved from $370 to $390. Roth MKM and Piper Sandler both landed at $395. Moffett Nathanson — one of the more cautious voices in the group — still raised, going from $305 to $350. Pivotal Research set the highest Alphabet stock target in this batch at $420, up from $400. Stifel Nicolaus and BMO Capital Markets each kept their Buy and Outperform ratings steady without touching their numbers.

What Is Driving the Google Buy Recommendation Wave

Alphabet’s Q4 2025 earnings print looks like the main trigger here. The company posted EPS of $2.82 against a $2.57 consensus estimate, and revenue came in at $113.83 billion versus the $111.24 billion the street expected. Tigress Financial’s Feinseth pointed specifically to accelerating ad recovery and AI monetization gains as the key drivers behind the firm’s revised Alphabet stock target — and also flagged margin leverage and upcoming product monetization as reasons to push the Google buy recommendation to its highest conviction level.

The Alphabet stock forecast also keeps getting support from the company’s broader AI push, including Google Cloud growth and new Gemini product rollouts. Analysts across the group share a pretty similar view right now: Alphabet Class A stock price targets keep moving up, and the gap between the consensus Alphabet stock target price and the actual share price keeps getting wider.

Where the Alphabet Stock Forecast Stands Right Now

Across 51 analysts, the GOOGL rating consensus sits at “Moderate Buy.” The average Alphabet stock forecast comes in at $366.57, with a high of $420 and a low of $220.

The Google buy recommendation count — 46 out of 51 analysts — sits at its highest level in recent memory, and the GOOGL rating chart shows the strongest Buy and Strong Buy concentration since at least early 2022. Google Cloud growth figures, AI product updates, and the next quarterly earnings print remain the key variables to watch for the Alphabet stock forecast heading into the rest of 2026.
