Alphabet's $62.59 Billion Trading Volume Lands 15th in Market Ranking as Stock Surges for Eighth Day

On July 18, 2025, Alphabet's trading volume reached $62.59 billion, ranking 15th in the day's stock market. Google A (GOOGL) rose by 0.81%, marking its eighth consecutive day of gains, with an 8-day increase of 6.14%.

Alphabet is expected to deliver strong second-quarter results, driven by favorable macroeconomic conditions and foreign exchange tailwinds, according to Bank of America. The company's strategic move to acquire the AI coding startup Windsurf, following OpenAI's failed bid, has positioned it favorably in the AI landscape. This acquisition is part of a broader trend of significant investments in AI by major tech companies, including Meta and Amazon.

Additionally, Alphabet's cloud services have gained traction with OpenAI's shift to Google Cloud, further bolstering the company's bullish outlook. However, there are concerns about the company's high-profile clients, such as OpenAI and Alphabet Inc., scaling back or cutting ties with Scale AI after Meta's investment. Despite these challenges, Alphabet's Waymo unit is accelerating its expansion in the driverless taxi sector, indicating continued growth and innovation in the company's autonomous vehicle initiatives.
