Apple’s Latest Move Threatens Alphabet (GOOGL): $150 Crash Incoming?

Wall Street’s buzzing after Apple’s surprise announcement—and Alphabet investors might need a stiff drink. The tech giant’s new play could gut GOOGL’s ad revenue, sending shares spiraling toward $150.

Here’s the kicker: Apple just bypassed Google’s search dominance with an in-house solution. No more paying the ’Google tax’ for Safari queries. Cue the sound of a thousand analysts downgrading their price targets.

Meanwhile in Mountain View: engineers scrambling, boardrooms sweating, and that metaverse bet suddenly looking even more desperate. But hey—at least they’ll save on those $20B annual payments to be Safari’s default.

Bonus cynicism: If history repeats, both companies will settle this with a cozy duopoly deal... just in time for the next antitrust hearing.
