Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, has crossed a market capitalisation of $3 trillion, becoming only the fourth publicly listed firm to reach this milestone after Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia. The company’s stock climbed 4.3 per cent to close at $251.22 on 15 September 2025, lifting its market cap to $3.05 trillion.

Google was listed on 19 August 2004 at a valuation of $23 billion (IPO price $85). It restructured into Alphabet Inc. in October 2015, setting the stage for faster growth and diversification.

Alphabet hit $1 trillion in January 2020 and $2 trillion in November 2021, before tripling its market value to reach $3 trillion in September 2025.

Shares of Alphabet have jumped nearly 70 per cent from their April lows, adding roughly $1.2 trillion in market value. So far in 2025, the stock is up 30–32 per cent, outpacing the Nasdaq Composite’s 15 per cent gain.

Analysts note Alphabet’s forward price-to-earnings ratio is around 23x, making it relatively cheaper compared with many other big-tech peers such as Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia.

ICICI Securities projects that India could see its first $1 trillion market-cap company by 2032, underlining how far Indian equities still have to climb to match US tech giants’ scale.
