Alphabet's announcement of an $80 billion equity offering on June 1, including a $10 billion private placement to Berkshire Hathaway, has been the dominant driver of GOOGL price action into the week of June 8. The capital raise funds expanded AI infrastructure spending amid strong Google Cloud growth, yet introduces near-term share dilution that weighed on sentiment. Shares traded near $361 early in the week before easing toward the $357–359 range by June 11–12, reflecting the ex-dividend date on June 8 and ongoing debate over valuation at roughly 27 times trailing earnings. With next-quarter results not due until late July, traders are focused on how the proceeds deployment and broader tech risk appetite shape closing levels.
