10-29-26 Google Sells Off: Buy Now or Wait? | Before the Bell

Google (Alphabet) shares are plunging nearly 10% following its latest earnings report, while Microsoft is moving higher. But does Google's sharp selloff present a buying opportunity, or could the stock fall even further? Lance Roberts examines the market's knee-jerk reaction to earnings, Google's increasingly oversold technical conditions, and why investors should resist the temptation to buy immediately after a major stock decline. With Google trading well below its 50-day moving average and momentum indicators flashing warning signs, the key is identifying when selling pressure begins to fade, buyers return, and technical buy signals emerge. Meanwhile, Microsoft's post-earnings strength presents a different opportunity: taking profits, trimming overbought positions, and rebalancing portfolios to manage risk. The lesson? Successful investing isn't about catching the exact bottom or selling at the absolute top. It's about patience, disciplined portfolio management, and making incremental adjustments rather than emotional investment decisions. Should investors buy Google's earnings-driven decline, or wait for confirmation that the stock has found support?
