About Alphabet
Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) is the parent company of Google, YouTube, Android, Google Cloud and DeepMind. GOOGL is the Class A share, which carries one vote; the Class C share trades separately as GOOG. Both are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
Nasdaq publishes a GOOGL price only during regular trading hours, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern on weekdays. WeekendIndex shows a live GOOGL price 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so you can follow it overnight and at the weekend. This is an implied market price, not the official Nasdaq last sale.

Frequently asked questions
Can I see the GOOGL stock price on weekends?
Yes. The official GOOGL price comes from Nasdaq, which sets a last price during the regular session (9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern) with pre-market and after-hours quotes until 8:00 PM Eastern on weekdays. After that it freezes for the night and the weekend. WeekendIndex shows a live GOOGL price 24/7, so you can still check Alphabet on Saturday and Sunday.
Why is GOOGL moving when the stock market is closed?
WeekendIndex reads markets that price Alphabet around the clock, including at the weekend. Those markets keep trading on news while the exchange is shut, so the price here keeps moving. It is an implied market price, not the official Nasdaq last sale, and it can differ from where GOOGL actually opens.
What are the trading hours for GOOGL?
Alphabet trades on Nasdaq from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern on weekdays, with pre-market and after-hours sessions around that window. WeekendIndex shows a price outside those hours too, 365 days a year.
Is this the same as the after-hours GOOGL price?
No. After-hours quotes come from US venues that also close, at 8:00 PM Eastern on weekdays. The price here comes from markets that never close, so it covers the whole weekend and every holiday as well.
