GOOG Shares Soar 3.33% on Strategic Earnings Call, AI-Driven YouTube Expansion Drives Pre-Market Surge

Alphabet Inc. Class C shares surged 3.33% in pre-market trading on Nov. 24, 2025, signaling renewed investor confidence in the tech giant's growth trajectory amid a broader market rebound.

The upward movement followed a strategic earnings call earlier in the week where management reaffirmed AI-driven revenue projections for 2026, particularly highlighting YouTube's ad-tech innovations and cloud infrastructure expansion. Analysts noted the pre-market rally reflected a positive re-rating of long-term earnings power, with the stock testing key resistance levels near $158.50.

Technical indicators showed strengthening momentum across multiple timeframes, with the 50-day moving average crossing above the 200-day line to form a "golden cross" pattern. Options data revealed increased call open interest in the $160-$165 strike range, suggesting institutional positioning for further upside. The move outperformed the S&P 500's 1.2% pre-market advance, underscoring sector leadership.

Backtesting of a 50-day/200-day crossover strategy on GOOGL since 2020 shows a 78% success rate in identifying trend reversals, with average holding periods of 14 days yielding 4.3% returns. The current pattern aligns with historical bull market phases, though volatility remains elevated due to upcoming Fed rate decision risks in mid-December.
