How it trades on rate days

How GOOGL has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.56 — tends to move with bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Alphabet Inc Class A moved 0.56% on average · correlation 0.17 · higher than 57% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.43 about the same as over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.65% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days +1.34% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — Alphabet Inc Class A

GOOGL in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Alphabet is the parent of Google, working through three units: Google Services covers Search, YouTube, Android, Chrome and advertising; Google Cloud sells cloud infrastructure, AI tools such as Vertex AI and Gemini, and Workspace software to businesses; Other Bets holds early-stage ventures including transport and internet projects. It is based in Mountain View, California, and listed on Nasdaq.
Where it sits in the stack
Alphabet holds no seat in Rubin, the diary's AI build-out index, so it sits outside that layer structure. Within our wider universe it sits in the Communication Services sector, under Internet Content & Information, as one of the hyperscale cloud and consumer-platform names that buy build-out capacity through data-centre and chip spending rather than supply the equipment itself.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group prices it against other hyperscalers and consumer platforms — Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Oracle and Apple; the market also sometimes weighs its advertising business against ByteDance's TikTok.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Alphabet holds seats in the Agentic Winners 40 and the Nasdaq-100, and carries a Closelooknet score whose strongest module is quality and whose weakest is valuation. The diary has returned to it across reports on AI capital spending and on the compute needs behind recursive self-improvement research.
What the diary watches
How Alphabet's cloud and AI infrastructure spending feeds through into Google Cloud revenue growth, since that link is what the diary watches when weighing the gap between its quality and valuation reads.

Alphabet Inc Class A (GOOGL) trades on US exchanges. Constituent of Agentic Winners 40.
