Google (GOOGL, GOOG) and Meta Platforms (META) received positive news that drove their stock prices higher. On July 11, 2025, Alphabet shares rose 0.28%, and Meta shares rose 0.30%, following updates related to their partnerships with OpenAI.

The news comes as Alphabet and Meta continue to invest heavily in artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies. Google, in particular, has been making significant strides in the AI coding assistant market. In a recent move, Google acquired top talent and licensing rights from AI coding startup Windsurf, following the collapse of Windsurf’s acquisition deal with OpenAI. This deal underscores the intense competition for AI talent and the growing demand for AI coding assistants [1].

Meanwhile, Meta has been expanding its focus on smart glasses and AI wearables. The company recently acquired a 3% stake in EssilorLuxottica, the parent company of Ray-Ban and Oakley, to deepen their partnership in developing smart glasses. This investment reflects Meta's broader strategy to reduce dependence on smartphone manufacturers and distribute its offerings through its own hardware [2].

Both companies' investments in AI and related technologies are part of a larger trend within the tech industry. Competitors such as Google and Apple are also investing heavily in AI eyewear, with Google partnering with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster to develop Android XR smart glasses and Apple planning to launch its own smart glasses by 2026 [3].

The positive news has driven investor confidence in both companies. Alphabet's acquisition of Windsurf talent and licensing rights, as well as Meta's investment in smart glasses, are seen as strategic moves that position the companies to capitalize on emerging AI technologies.
