Elite club of three trillion dollar companies gains a new member

The American technology sector is once again at the peak of investor interest, culminating in the entry of a fourth company into the elite group of companies valued at over three trillion dollars. Alongside Apple, Microsoft, and of course Nvidia, which is valued the highest at over four trillion dollars, Alphabet also crossed the three trillion dollar market capitalization threshold yesterday. The price of Class A shares of this internet giant rose by 3.8 percent on Monday, reaching 250 dollars, while Class C shares traded at 3.7 percent of 250.4 dollars. Both stocks are at record levels.

Including the rise from Monday, Alphabet’s shares have increased in value by 32 percent this year. In addition to significantly outperforming the growth of the entire market, as expressed by the S&P 500 index, which records a 12.5 percent growth for 2025, this stock has also achieved the highest growth within the famous ‘Magnificent Seven’ tech stocks. Kim Forrest, Chief Investment Officer at Bokeh Capital Partners, stated to Reuters that tech stocks are the leaders of the stock rise that has been ongoing since May. Furthermore, there has been no sector in the last 18 months, or even two years, that has generated such excitement among investors, added Forrest.

Investor interest in Alphabet’s stock was also fueled earlier this month when a U.S. court allowed the company to retain control over its web browser Chrome and mobile operating system Android, marking a key moment for a company whose dominance in search and mobile ecosystems has long been under regulatory scrutiny. Although data sharing as part of the ruling will strengthen competition in Google’s advertising business, the fact that it does not have to relinquish control over Chrome or Android alleviates a major concern for investors who view them as key parts of Google’s overall business.

– They are still very dependent on search, but with YouTube, Waymo, and other opportunities and products they are working on, investors are beginning to see the possibility that this is no longer just a search company; this is a company that is moving into many other things – said Dennis Dick, Chief Strategist at Stock Trader Network. Alphabet is trading at 23 times its annual earnings – the lowest among the ‘Magnificent Seven’ – compared to its five-year average of 22, according to data collected by LSEG.
