Alphabet Inc. Class A (GOOGL) stock is moving lower today amid reports that Google's flagship AI model, Gemini 3.5 Pro, has fallen months behind schedule. The delay, attributed to internal performance shortfalls, particularly in coding capabilities, has raised concerns about the company's ability to meet its AI ambitions. The stock has gapped higher at the open but has since fallen sharply, with a session low of $355.21 as of 3:00 PM ET.
Google's Gemini 3.5 Pro, its most powerful AI model, is reportedly delayed as engineers work to improve its performance. Multiple reports indicate that the model has not met internal benchmarks, leading to frustration among employees and a complex release process. The delay comes as Alphabet faces broader scrutiny under EU-mandated changes requiring it to open up services to AI and search engine rivals. Meanwhile, Google Cloud has expanded a partnership with Intel to deploy Gemini Enterprise and agentic AI workflows, aiming to accelerate chip design and digital transformation. Citigroup has also highlighted the growing AI capital expenditures, forecasting they will exceed $800 billion by 2027.
The stock opened with a 1.7% gap up but has since fallen sharply, hitting a session low of $355.21. Volume is at 20.3 million shares, or 0.7 times the 3-month average. Over the last 8 sessions, the stock has moved up slightly, from $370.55 to $372.46. Recent insider transactions show six sales totaling $4.2 million in the last 90 days, with the most recent on July 1. Congressional trades include a recent sale by Thomas H. Kean, Jr. on June 24. On the options front, call premiums have significantly outpaced puts, with the largest single print at $56.1 million.
Alphabet is not scheduled to report earnings in the near term. Investors will likely monitor the breadth of coverage and further developments in the AI space, particularly the progress of the Gemini model and the competitive landscape involving Amazon and Meta.
