Is it a good time to buy Alphabet stock?

The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. However, this is not a recommendation. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.

Alphabet share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Alphabet's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$151.6741 up to US$399.8499. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market ( average) beta is 1, while Alphabet's is 1.267. This would suggest that Alphabet's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Alphabet share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 6.41% of net profits

Recently Alphabet has paid out, on average, around 6.41% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.23% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Alphabet shareholders could enjoy a 0.23% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Alphabet's case, that would currently equate to about 0.84 per share.

While Alphabet's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Alphabet is investing more in its future growth.

Alphabet's next dividend payout is expected around 15 March 2026. To benefit from it's next dividend payout, you'll need to buy Alphabet shares before 7 June 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Alphabet's shares ever split?

Alphabet's shares were split on a 20:1 basis on 17 July 2022. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 20 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Alphabet shares - just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 95% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Alphabet shares which in turn could have impacted Alphabet's share price.
