A securities class action has been filed against Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Alphabet securities between May 19, 2026 through July 16, 2026. This case has been filed in the USDC – NDCA.
On July 16, 2026, at approximately 2:00 PM EST, Bloomberg reported that Google is “months behind schedule on delivering Gemini 3.5 Pro, its most powerful flagship AI model” due to the Company’s ongoing coding efforts.[1] Specifically, “[l]ate last month, Google updated the data being used to train Gemini in an attempt to improve [its] skills, but the results were disappointing.”
On this news, Alphabet’s Class A common stock price fell $16.46, or 4.4%, to close at $354.46 per share on July 16, 2026, on unusually heavy trading volume. Alphabet’s Class C common stock price fell $16.39, or 4.4%, to close at $353.58 per share on July 16, 2026, thereby injuring investors.
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) that the Gemini 3.5 Pro was delivering disappointing training results; (2) that, as a result, the launch of Gemini 3.5 Pro would be significantly delayed; and (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
