#How is Google Performing in the Stock Market?
Google is currently testing the waters for a new all-time closing high after reaching an intraday price of approximately $330. This upward movement in shares has allowed Google to surpass Apple in terms of market capitalization, buoyed by advances in artificial intelligence and growing investor interest.
As the parent company, Alphabet opened its shares about 1% higher on Thursday. At one moment, shares briefly touched a record intraday price of $330, although they later corrected slightly as technology stocks generally lost momentum. Previously, during late November, Google shares set an all-time high by briefly reaching $328, with the highest closing price recorded at $323.
Investors are monitoring closely to see if Google can close above this previous record to validate a new high. As of the most recent trading activity, shares settled around $326, aligning with a broader downturn in technology stocks early in the session.
Despite this minor retreat, Google’s stock boasts significant gains compared to its performance in late November. The recent rally has propelled Google ahead of Apple, making it the fourth-largest asset globally by market capitalization. Currently, Google is valued at nearly $3.9 trillion, while Apple stands at approximately $3.8 trillion.
What has contributed to this surge in Google’s stock? A key factor has been renewed interest from investors, notably following Warren Buffett's disclosure of his firm's increased stake in Google during the third quarter of 2025, prompting a 57% rise in share value since that announcement.
Further momentum has stemmed from Google's innovations in artificial intelligence. The rollout of the Gemini 3 model and the Nano Banana image generation system received favorable feedback, solidifying Google’s competitive edge in the rapidly expanding AI sector.
