Shares of Alphabet Inc. moved higher after strong comments from CEO Sundar Pichai during the latest earnings update.
Pichai said 2026 has started strongly, highlighting that AI investments are driving growth across all parts of the business.
The company reported strong financial results, with revenue rising around 22% year-on-year and beating market expectations.
