Alphabet shares reach record high, up 5.5%

Google’s parent company Alphabet saw its stock prices reach a record high of US$195.45 on Wednesday.

The 5.5% increase followed a broader surge in big tech stocks.

Alphabet’s share increase was driven by the company’s recent announcements in AI and quantum computing.

This uptick coincided with US President-elect Donald Trump’s appointment of Andrew Ferguson as the new leader of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), succeeding Lina Khan, whose term as chair ended.
