Is GOOGL a buy? — what our data shows
Alphabet is the parent company of Google — it runs the world's most-used search engine, owns YouTube, and powers a massive cloud computing business, plus moonshot bets like self-driving cars through Waymo.
What our data shows
Our data on Alphabet is focused on one thing: what members of Congress have been reporting. Nine different lawmakers have filed disclosures related to GOOGL trades — names like Elizabeth Fletcher, Gilbert Cisneros, and David Taylor, among others. Congressional filings tell us that trades happened, but they don't tell us whether those lawmakers were buying or selling, so we can't read too much into the direction. It's an interesting signal that Alphabet is on Capitol Hill's radar, but with just these filings to go on, we're being straight with you: our coverage here is limited.
The takeaway
Alphabet is one of the most-watched companies in the world, but our data alone doesn't give you a clear edge right now — the most useful thing to watch is whether more lawmakers start filing, which could hint at growing political or regulatory attention on the company.
