Alphabet adds $230 billion in value after avoiding breakup in antitrust case
Summary
Alphabet shares jumped after a U.S. judge rejected the most severe breakup remedies in Google’s antitrust case. The ruling lets Google keep Chrome and Android and continue paying partners such as Apple for default search placement, though it limits exclusive contracts tied to payments or licensing. Investors saw the decision as a major win for Google’s search business and a relief for Apple’s revenue stream. The outcome also supports Google’s broader AI strategy because Android remains a large user base for Gemini adoption.
