Alphabet stock price, 2004 to 2026

Alphabet stock closed at $357.18 as of July 2026, down 0.1 percent from the prior period. The window runs from August 2004 and spans a low of $2.56 (August 2004) and a high of $384.8 (April 2026).

How it is measured

The series is the monthly closing price of Alphabet, Google's parent, which earns most of its revenue from search advertising, from Twelve Data's market feed. A closing price is the last trade of the regular session; it is the price the market agreed on with the day's full information. A price series is not total return: dividends are paid out along the way, so long-run investor returns exceed what the price line alone shows.

What the curve shows

Price charts reward reading structure rather than points: the drawdowns mark the crises, the flat years mark the doubt, and the slope between them is the compounding. Over this window the price rose roughly 139-fold. Held against an index, a single name's line shows how much of its story is the market's and how much is its own.
