According to TheStreet, Alphabet (GOOGL), the parent company of Google, became just the fourth company in history to reach a $4 trillion valuation. Alphabet, fueled by artificial intelligence (AI) optimization, joined Nvidia, Microsoft and Apple as one of only four companies to reach this mark in recent years. Reuters noted that Alphabet recently surpassed Apple in market cap for the first time since 2019 and that the stock surged by 65% in 2025.
When a company experiences substantial growth, there are often concerns that its price could pull back. So with the stock rising significantly in 2025, this raises an important question for the average investor. Is it too late to invest in Google stock?
