Alphabet's stock hits $300 for the 1st time
Alphabet (Google's parent company) just crossed a major milestone—its stock surged over 6% to $302.87, crossing the $300 mark for the first time ever.
Trading was intense, and Alphabet's value is now nearly $2.94 trillion.
This big leap follows a year where the stock has soared more than 50%, mainly thanks to strong earnings and some impressive moves in AI, cloud tech, and self-driving cars.
What's driving the surge?
Alphabet just posted record Q3 revenue of $102 billion—a 16% jump from last year—which definitely got investors excited.
Plus, Google rolled out its new Gemini 3 AI model with advanced reasoning skills and a massive one-million-token context window, now available across Search, Gemini app, and Vertex AI for pro users.
While everyone's buzzing about these tech upgrades, analysts are also keeping an eye on possible new rules around AI as it becomes more powerful.
