Alphabet Stock Surge in 2025
Shares of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL) increased by 65% in 2025, driven by the successful launch of its AI model, Gemini 3, and a favorable court ruling that allowed the company to retain control of its Chrome browser and Android operating system. The ruling on September 3 removed a major regulatory risk, leading to a 9% spike in stock value.
For the first three quarters of the fiscal year, Alphabet reported a revenue increase of 14%, totaling $289 billion, while operating income rose to $93.1 billion. Additionally, on November 24, the stock surged 6% following positive market reactions to new AI developments and a stake acquisition by Berkshire Hathaway.
Looking ahead to early 2026, Alphabet has partnered with Apple, integrating Gemini technology with Siri, positioning itself to capitalize on further advancements in AI and its expanding Waymo autonomous vehicle service.
