Alphabet (GOOGL) Today: Antitrust Trial, AI Debt Surge & Climate Bet
Alphabet shares traded near $290 Thursday afternoon, down about 1% from this week’s record high. The company’s legal team delivered closing arguments in a major U.S. antitrust case, with a judge weighing whether Google must divest key ad-tech assets. In Europe, Italy’s competition authority closed a data probe after Google changed its consent process. Alphabet’s market value remains close to $2.94 trillion.
