Google (which is now known as Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company) was one of the most valuable publicly traded companies in the world, with a market capitalization of over $1.5 trillion USD. Google's search engine is the most widely used in the world and generates the majority of the company's revenue through advertising. Google also operates several other businesses, including YouTube, Google Cloud, and Waymo (its self-driving car subsidiary).
Historically, Google's stock has performed very well, with strong growth in both its stock price and earnings. However, like all stocks, there is no guarantee of future performance and stock prices can be affected by a wide range of factors, including changes in the broader economy, shifts in consumer behavior, and technological disruptions. As a result, investing in Google stock carries some level of risk.
