Alphabet's Trading Volume Surges 40.72% to $6.32 Billion Ranking 13th in Market

On June 27, 2025, Alphabet's trading volume reached $6.32 billion, marking a 40.72% increase from the previous day, placing it 13th in the day's stock market rankings. Google's Class C shares (GOOG) rose by 2.26%, extending its winning streak to four days, with a cumulative gain of 7.45% over the past four days.

Despite a challenging year, Alphabet's AI tools are expected to help the company maintain its competitive edge, according to analysts at Citizens JMP. However, BNP Paribas Exane notes that all hyperscalers face significant challenges.

Jefferies analysts argue that fears surrounding Google's competitiveness in the AI era are overstated. They highlight that Google Search has remained resilient against competition from chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT, maintaining a 90% market share. Additionally, YouTube, which drives around 30% more revenue than Netflix, is seen as a catalyst in a video-first world. Alphabet's large language model, Gemini, processes 480 trillion tokens monthly, showcasing its performance edge and data scale.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP), though trailing Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, has room for growth due to its leadership in AI and machine learning infrastructure tools. Despite heavy investments in AI, Alphabet's operating margins are recovering, hitting a record 40% in Q1 2025. The company's strong balance sheet and growth opportunities in AI, cloud, and video further support its bullish outlook.
