Alphabet Inc’s Class C shares slipped 0.8% to close at $330.34 on Friday, after moving between $329.03 and $333.69 during the session. The company asked a U.S. judge to halt a court-ordered fix that would compel it to share search data with competitors while it challenges a ruling that deemed its online search monopoly illegal. Google told the court it’s “prepared to do everything short of turning over its data” as the appeal proceeds, even as U.S. regulators consider tougher measures, including a possible Chrome divestiture and ending default-search payments.
