Alphabet’s summer of 2026 features a dual narrative: integrating its Gemini assistant into Waymo robotaxis while facing a fresh antitrust lawsuit filed on August 3 by Teads Holding Co. against Google LLC and Alphabet Inc. The stock closed Tuesday at 327.90 euros, up 11.78 percent on the week. The Waymo integration marks the first time Gemini has been embedded in the self-driving fleet, debuting in the Ojai vehicle. Passengers can adjust cabin temperature, pull up trip information, and ask about nearby restaurants or landmarks, with Gemini running entirely separate from the driving stack. Waymo crossed 500,000 fully autonomous rides per week in the first quarter, yet Alphabet’s “Other Bets” segment generated 382 million dollars in revenue during the second quarter against an operating loss of 1.8 billion dollars. Regulatory pressure persists: the DOJ is pushing the Washington appeals court to tighten remedies, including a potential complete ban on payments to partners like Apple, while the EU Commission is enforcing the Digital Markets Act to open Android and share search data. The stock sits 6.51 percent below its 52-week high of 350.75 euros, reached on May 18, 2026.
