Pomerantz LLP is investigating whether Alphabet and some of its executives engaged in securities fraud following reports that Google's AI project Gemini 3.5 Pro is significantly delayed. The delays and disappointing AI training results caused Alphabet's stock to drop sharply in July 2026. Additionally, Alphabet's Q2 2026 financial report revealed a large increase in capital expenditures and a negative free cash flow of $5.9 billion, further pressuring the stock. The investigation highlights concerns over the company's disclosures and financial management amid operational challenges.
