GOOG is trading down today at $345.40 following a continued pullback in large-cap tech and weaker U.S. equity futures. The downward move is also tied to high-profile DeepMind talent departures to competitors and investor concerns regarding Alphabet's significant capital raise for AI infrastructure, which may impact free cash flow and share buybacks. This comes amidst a broader risk-off sentiment toward tech and growth stocks, with both S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures indicating a lower open.
