Alphabet Poised to Join $3 Trillion Market Cap Club Amid AI and Legal Challenges
Two decades ago, energy and industrial giants dominated the list of the world's most valuable companies. Today, technology reigns supreme, with Nvidia leading at $4.3 trillion, followed by Microsoft at $3.8 trillion and Apple at $3.4 trillion. Alphabet, with a $2.4 trillion market cap, is now on a clear trajectory to join the $3 trillion club before 2028.
The company's dominance in search and cloud computing, combined with accelerating growth and AI-driven opportunities, provides a compelling case for its ascent. However, Alphabet faces significant legal hurdles, including court rulings against its monopolistic practices in digital advertising and online search markets. The outcomes of these cases could influence its path forward.
