A big day is a close more than 3.29% from the one before, three times GOOGL’s median day (1.10%). On 9 of the 24, its peer group moved the same way at least half as far. We show what we hold. We never name a cause.

A story on the same day is not a cause, and a group move is not proof either. Group: the median of META, APP, NBIS and ZM that day, the largest companies in GOOGL’s SEC industry; “moved with GOOGL” means the same direction and at least half the size.
What’s next · results
Before the next report: what the first day after the last four did
Six trading days after each results filing (SEC 8-K, Item 2.02). GOOGL reports after the close, so day 1 is the next close. Each time, day 6 ended on the same side as day 1.

Next report: expected late January to early FebruaryEstimated from the dates of its last four results filings. Not announced. Since the Oct 28 report: −11.07%. Four reports is a small sample.
Each line is GOOGL’s close against its close before the filing, on licensed end-of-day closes. What happened after each report, not a forecast; a move on the day is not a cause.
Same industry
GOOGL against four same-industry peers, a year at 100
GOOGL is up 3.6% in a year. Nebius Group is up 27.2% and Zoom Communications 12.4%. Of these four, Meta Platforms (+1.3%) and AppLovin (−56.2%) did less. Weekly closes, Nov 7, 2025 = 100, on a log scale, so the same percentage move is the same height on every line.
End-of-day closes (Databento EOD), the last close of each week. The four peers are the largest US-listed companies by market value in GOOGL’s SEC industry (Services-Computer Programming, Data Processing, Etc.) with a year of closes. It shows what the closes did; a move here is not a cause, a forecast or a call.
