Alphabet’s Class C shares (GOOG) closed down 1.1% at $306.02 on February 15, 2026, ahead of Tuesday’s trading and following a $20 billion U.S.-dollar senior notes and £5.5 billion sterling notes sale. The substantial bond raise and sparse covenants are under investor scrutiny as Alphabet increases capital spending for AI, raising questions about whether cloud and ad revenues can sustain the rising expenditure. This week, investors will also be watching for Federal Reserve meeting minutes and fourth-quarter GDP data, which could influence growth stocks and the broader market.
