What's Going On With Alphabet Stock Thursday?
Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
Alphabet Inc's shares (GOOG, GOOGL) are trading lower after reports surfaced about the company considering charging for AI-powered search features. This would be a first for Google's core Search product. The potential premium service would include AI enhancements and possibly integrate with Google's existing subscription services. Despite the dip, Alphabet's stock has been viewed positively by analysts, with expectations of growth. Meanwhile, Microsoft Corp (MSFT) has already launched an AI-powered search tool, Copilot, over a year ago.
