Alphabet’s Google stock (NASDAQ: GOOG) entered September with its longest monthly losing streak in over a decade. The four-month losing streak came after the search giant reached a yearly high of $408 in May. Since then, the equity has been unable to reclaim its lost territory and opened Monday’s trading session at $335. Fears are rife that GOOG could fall below the $299 level, leading to major losses for investors. Such a scenario would also put the AI market under the radar, leading to heightened volatility in the sector.

What Can Save Alphabet’s Google Stock From Here?
All is not lost for Alphabet’s Google stock, as the company has several advantages to show investors. Alphabet is leaning on the launch of Gemini 3.8 Flash to show that its AI services continue to advance. This is the third Flash model in six weeks, along with a new cybersecurity model sought by trusted government and enterprise customers. In addition, Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel offered a public vote of confidence for Alphabet’s AI dominance. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has been the biggest institutional investor in Alphabet in 2026.
Alphabet’s ad business also got a boost from a key antitrust ruling by the court. A Federal judge rejected the Justice Department’s case forcing Google to sell its ad exchange. This is another victory for Alphabet against the government’s antitrust efforts and positions Google stock with positive momentum. All of these offer the company a more constructive setup and a chance to regain Google stock’s lost balance. However, the equity hasn’t shown much of a rebound yet, but traders are enthusiastic about Gemini 3.8 Flash.
Gil Luria, an analyst at DA Davidson, said in an interview with CNBC while discussing Google stock that Gemini 3.8 Flash will keep Alphabet in the AI race, but it will remain a distant third when compared to its competitors. “From a product perspective, this model seems to keep Google in the race. But probably won’t change the fact that they are a distant third in the enterprise market,” he said.
