Alphabet shares have been volatile due to broader market factors like semiconductor and hardware stock movements. Negative news or performance issues in this sector could impact Google's infrastructure and product development.
Soft guidance from semiconductor companies like Amkor and Lattice may lead to disruptions or increased costs in the supply chain for Google. This could affect profitability and operational efficiency for the tech giant.
