GOOGL Drops 3.9% Amid IPOs, SPACs, secondary — Mar 24, 2026

S&P 500 down 0.3%. GOOGL lost 3.9%. Driven by IPOs, SPACs, secondary offerings.

Market Overview

SPY fell 0.32% while QQQ dropped 0.68%, with XLE, XLF, XLV in the green and XLK finishing lower. On the watchlist, GOOGL was the biggest mover at -3.85%. Based on today's market performance, we can observe a mixed bag of movements among the tech giants and energy stocks. Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) led the tech sector with a significant drop of 3.85%, possibly due to ongoing antitrust concerns and slowing growth in its core advertising business. Similarly, Meta Platforms Inc. (META) and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) also experienced declines of 1.84% and 1.38% respectively, suggesting broader sectoral weakness. However, it was not all doom and gloom for tech, as Tesla Inc. (TSLA) managed to eke out a gain of 0.57%, perhaps buoyed by its recent price cuts and increased demand for electric vehicles.

On the other hand, the energy sector, as represented by the XLE ETF, saw a robust gain of 2.03%. This can be attributed to the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which have led to supply disruptions and subsequent price increases for oil. Chevron Corporation (CVX), a major player in the sector, extended its winning streak to seven consecutive trading sessions, indicating positive market sentiment. Interestingly, despite the overall strength in energy, Micron Technology Inc. (MU), a semiconductor company with significant exposure to the sector, experienced a drop of 2.18%. This could be due to increased competition from rival SK Hynix, which is planning to invest heavily in the sector.
