Alphabet, Google’s parent, regained the $4 trillion market capitalization milestone after a 65% stock surge in 2025, with that momentum carrying into 2026 and lifting the shares past the threshold on January 12. A newer market update said the company again moved back above $4 trillion, though it provided no additional share-price, timing, or catalyst details. Alphabet closed at $331.86 on the day it first crossed the mark in 2026, becoming the fourth company in history to reach a $4 trillion valuation alongside Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple. Its valuation later peaked at about $4.3 trillion in early July 2026 before easing to around $3.9 trillion by late July, underscoring how investor enthusiasm around AI has reshaped the largest U.S. technology stocks.
