Google stock’s best year since 2009 sets up a tougher 2026 test for Alphabet’s AI spending

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 08:10 ET Alphabet, the parent of Google, is starting 2026 after its shares rose 65% in 2025, the company’s best annual performance since 2009. The stock hit its 2025 low in April before rallying more than 100% from those levels, CNBC reported. The rally matters now because investors are shifting from the “AI story” to results that show the spending is paying off.

AI’s “Pick-and-Shovel” Boom: Power, Cooling and Networking Stocks Take the Spotlight in 2026

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 07:07 ET Investors are starting 2026 by shifting attention from headline AI model makers to the physical plumbing that keeps data centers running — power, cooling and networking — as valuations rise across the sector.

That puts more focus on the companies that sell the hardware and systems needed to deploy and run AI at scale. It also raises the risk that constraints in the real world — especially electricity supply — could dictate how far and how
