Alphabet Inc.'s CEO Sundar Pichai reported multiple share transactions in the first week of February 2026, including a stock sale, an acquisition recorded at no cash value and a separate disposition to satisfy tax obligations.
On February 4, 2026, Pichai sold 27,300 shares of Class C Capital Stock for aggregate proceeds of $10.9 million. The disposals were executed at per-share prices ranging from $330.13 to $343.74, levels that sit close to the stock's 52-week high of $349.
Additional filings show activity on February 6. On that date Pichai was recorded as acquiring 1,348,607 shares of Class C Capital Stock at a reported value of $0. In the same filing, 676,955 shares were disposed of at $333.34 per share to cover tax obligations, bringing the total value of that tax-related disposition to $225.7 million.
After these movements, Pichai's direct holdings include 2,851,024 shares of Class C Capital Stock and 227,560 shares of Class A Common Stock.
Market metrics cited alongside the filings note Alphabet's market capitalization at $3.92 trillion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 29.56. The company is trading slightly above a Fair Value estimate published by a professional Pro research service. In addition, Alphabet is described as having more cash than debt on its balance sheet and carries an overall financial health score labeled "GREAT" by that same research service, which offers comprehensive reports on more than 1,400 U.S. equities.
These insider transactions come amid a string of positive operational and analyst developments for Alphabet. The company reported fourth-quarter 2025 results in which total revenue grew 18%, outpacing expectations set by Piper Sandler. Alphabet's EBITDA also topped forecasts, prompting several analysts to adjust their outlooks.
Piper Sandler raised its price target to $395 and kept an Overweight rating. BMO Capital increased its target to $400, citing a roughly 2% revenue upside driven by stronger-than-expected performance in Search and Cloud. JPMorgan adjusted its price target to $395, noting accelerating growth in those same segments. KeyBanc Capital Markets lifted its target to $370 and highlighted significant increases in capital expenditures to support expansion in Google Services and Google Cloud.
Separately, Alphabet's Waymo division announced it is using DeepMind's Genie 3 artificial intelligence to generate virtual environments for training autonomous driving systems, an effort described as intended to broaden Waymo's self-driving services into additional markets.
Taken together, the insider activity, robust quarterly results and subsequent analyst target increases underscore a period of active capitalization and strategic development across Alphabet's core businesses.
