"Alphabet's shares surged by more than 4% during Monday trading, pushing the tech giant past the landmark $3 trillion cap. The rally comes after a decisive U.S. court ruling allowed Alphabet to retain control of key assets including its Chrome browser and Android operating system, two linchpins of its global enterprise that had been at risk due to regulatory challenges. This antitrust victory eliminated concerns over a potential breakup, boosting investor confidence at a pivotal time."
"Fueling the ascent is Alphabet's aggressive investment in AI, most notably through the Gemini AI model, now integrated across Google's search, advertising, and cloud products. Other growth streams-including Workspace, YouTube Shorts, and proprietary chips-have further diversified revenues and reinforced perceptions of Alphabet as a multidimensional technology leader, not merely a search and advertising company. With shares up over 32% year-to-date, Alphabet is 2025's best-performing member of the so-called "Magnificent Seven," outpacing the S&P 500's 12.5% gain."
