"The stock was up 3.7%, outpacing the Nasdaq Composite's gain of 2.6%. Alphabet's growth has ground to a halt in past economic crises as digital advertising spend is closely correlated with economic health and business's confidence that consumers will spend."
"Investors have been impressed with the new Gemini chatbot and large language model, as well as the growth and profitability of Google Cloud. Alphabet looks to be in position to continue to deliver steady growth, especially if tensions in Iran continue to cool."
The stock market experienced gains following a two-week ceasefire with Iran, particularly benefiting Alphabet, which saw a 3.7% increase.

Alphabet's growth has been challenged recently, but positive developments in its chatbot and Google Cloud suggest potential for continued growth if geopolitical tensions ease.
