AI Bet Boosts Alphabet to $4 Trillion Valuation
Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has reached a market valuation of $4 trillion for the first time, driven by renewed investor confidence following its intensified focus on artificial intelligence (AI). The company briefly touched the milestone on Monday, marking a significant comeback for Alphabet in the global AI race, according to Reuters.
The Reuters report said Alphabet announced that Apple’s next-generation AI models will be built on Google’s Gemini technology under a multi-year agreement. Following the announcement, Alphabet’s Class A shares surged as much as 1.7 percent, hitting a record high.
Earlier reports revealed that Samsung Electronics plans to double the number of Gemini-powered AI smartphones this year. Riding on these developments, Alphabet has surpassed Apple in market capitalization for the first time since 2019, becoming the world’s second most valuable company.
Alphabet’s share price has climbed nearly 65 percent in 2025 so far. Strong growth in Google Cloud revenue—up 34 percent in the third quarter—along with a contract backlog worth $155 billion, has further reinforced investor confidence.
