Alphabet's rapid advancement in AI has propelled it to become only the fourth company in history to reach a $4 trillion market valuation

Alphabet Achieves $4 Trillion Market Value Milestone

• Alphabet's market capitalization exceeded $4 trillion on Monday, setting a new record for the company.
• Driven by the AI boom, shares of Google's parent company jumped 65% last year.
• This marks the first time in nearly seven years that Alphabet's valuation has overtaken Apple.

Another major technology company has entered the exclusive $4 trillion valuation club.

Alphabet became the fourth business to reach this impressive milestone on Monday, highlighting the powerful influence of artificial intelligence on the stock market. The company's shares climbed as much as 2% before settling back slightly.

With this achievement, Alphabet now stands alongside Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple as one of the world's most valuable companies.

The company's record-breaking performance coincided with Apple's announcement that it will use Google's Gemini AI to enhance its devices' artificial intelligence capabilities.

According to a joint statement, "Apple and Google have agreed to a multi-year partnership, with future Apple Foundation Models being built on Google's Gemini technology and cloud infrastructure. These advancements will enable new Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri launching this year."

The agreement was first reported by CNBC.

Google's latest Gemini 3 AI model has received widespread acclaim, outpacing offerings from OpenAI and other competitors striving to challenge Google's leadership in the field.

Investors are also showing increased confidence in Google's comprehensive AI ecosystem. The company's proprietary TPU chips are emerging as a significant rival to Nvidia's dominance in AI hardware, while Google's vast platforms like Search and YouTube provide extensive reach for its AI technologies.

This latest rally also marks the first time in seven years that Alphabet has surpassed Apple in terms of market capitalization, with Apple's value hovering near $3.8 trillion on Monday.

Alphabet's stock soared 65% in 2025 and has already gained 3% since the start of the year.
