Google Alphabet Approaches a $4 Trillion Valuation as Its Shares Reach a Record High of $315.90

Alphabet, the parent company of Google, is on the verge of joining an exclusive club as it approaches a $4 trillion valuation. On Monday, the company’s shares climbed over 5% to hit a record high of $315.90, pushing its market capitalization to $3.82 trillion. This marks a phenomenal rise for Alphabet in 2025, with its stock soaring nearly 70 percent, outshining its artificial intelligence rivals like Microsoft and Amazon.com.

A major factor behind Google’s parent company’s surge is its booming cloud business, which has been a significant growth driver this year. Alongside the cloud success, Alphabet is making strong moves in artificial intelligence, especially with its launch of Gemini 3, which positions it well in the AI race. Experts believe Google’s role in AI is bolstered further by its use of in-house chips, which offer a cost-effective alternative to Nvidia’s processors, putting it in a great spot to lead the AI space.

The stock’s remarkable climb is also credited to the confidence investors have gained from Berkshire Hathaway’s CEO, Warren Buffett, becoming an investor in Alphabet. Even though it’s unclear if Buffett was directly involved in the purchase, his association with the company has drawn significant attention. Analysts note that Berkshire’s involvement has encouraged others to follow suit, boosting Alphabet’s market performance.

This rise comes at a crucial time following Google’s victory in a notable antitrust case. The US court ruled against the government’s demand for Google to sell its Chrome web browser but required steps to restore competition in the online search market. This ruling was seen as a big win for Google, reinforcing investor confidence, with Google’s Vice President of Regulatory Affairs emphasizing that competition in their industry remains fierce and that AI is reshaping the internet landscape.

If Alphabet crosses the $4 trillion milestone, it will be only the fourth company in history to do so, joining Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple in this elite group. However, among them, only Nvidia and Apple remain at that level today, highlighting how special entering this club would be for Alphabet. All these developments show how Alphabet, driven by its strength in AI and cloud as well as resolution on legal challenges, is steering toward a historic valuation milestone.
