Shares in Alphabet, Google’s parent company, rose around 1% this Monday (12), raising the company’s value to US$4 trillion for the first time in the company’s history. The company is the fourth to join the 4 trillion dollar club.
The milestone was reached shortly after Apple announced that it had chosen Gemini as the basis for its own artificial intelligence models. The technology will directly influence the next generation of Siri.
Alphabet has invested heavily in technology and this investment has brought good results for the shares. In December, the launch of Gemini 3 was positively received by critics and consumers. A month earlier, it also announced Ironwood, a custom AI chip as an alternative to a similar product from Nvidia.
Don’t miss the opportunity!
In addition to Apple itself, Alphabet joins Nvidia and Microsoft as the few companies that have reached (and exceeded) US$4 trillion. All companies reached the milestone in less than a year. Nvidia and Microsoft first reached the number in July last year; Apple in October.
Alphabet’s result comes after the company recorded one of the best performances on the American stock exchange, ending the year 2025 with an increase of 65%. The growth was also the company’s biggest increase since 2009.
In a recent report, Citi bank positioned Google as one of the top choices for the internet sector for this year. Last week, analyst Deepak Mathivanan also raised his recommendation for Alphabet shares, stating that Gemini’s technology and potential are still being underestimated.
