Alphabet's $35.48 Billion Trading Volume Ranks 16th as Google Eyes Apple AI Deal

On May 1, 2025, Alphabet's trading volume reached $35.48 billion, ranking 16th in the day's stock market activity. Google C (GOOG) rose by 1.18%.

Google's CEO Sundar Pichai expressed optimism about reaching a deal with Apple to integrate its Gemini AI technology into iPhones by mid-2025. This potential agreement would see Gemini AI included within Apple Intelligence, Apple's own set of AI features. Pichai's comments came during court proceedings, where he also mentioned that Google is hopeful about adding Gemini as an additional AI option on Apple products, competing with ChatGPT. Despite Apple's previous deal with ChatGPT, Pichai remains confident that Google will secure its own agreement with Apple by the middle of the year.

Pichai also revealed that Google is exploring the possibility of including advertisements in Gemini search results in the future. This strategic move aligns with Google's broader efforts to enhance its AI capabilities and expand its market presence. The integration of Gemini AI into Apple's ecosystem could significantly boost Google's competitive edge in the AI market, potentially driving further growth and innovation in the tech industry.
