What's the Difference Between Alphabet's Stock Tickers, GOOG And GOOGL?
Google's parent company, Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL), comes in two flavors. There's the Class C stock with the GOOG ticker, and then we have the Class A stock called GOOGL.
That's not quite the whole story, actually. There's a third type of Alphabet stock, but the Class B shares are not available to the public.
The difference between these classes of Alphabet stock is not immediately obvious. According to Google's own search algorithm, people who are searching for information about GOOGL will also often wonder what the difference is between Class A and Class C, and which one is the better buy.
