Key points:

• Google stock close to $5T
• Shares hit record $400 a pop
• Six weeks for 50% gains? Yessir.

And that’s how you add $2.5 trillion in just six weeks.

🚀 Alphabet’s Monster Comeback

• Alphabet GOOGL is creeping toward a jaw-dropping $5 trillion market capitalization after ending Monday at roughly $4.8 trillion. That leaves the Google parent just 4.2% away from joining the market’s ultra-exclusive mega-cap stratosphere. Nvidia, of course, towers over the world.
• The rally has been absurdly fast. Shares have surged about 50% since early April, adding roughly $2.5 trillion in market value in just six weeks. Some countries would quite like that kind of GDP expansion.
• The comeback follows a brutal selloff earlier this year that dragged the stock down around 22% to near $270. Apparently, traders looked at the dip and collectively decided: “Actually, AI money printer still on.”

📈 Record Highs Within Reach

• Alphabet’s Class A shares closed near $396.94 Monday, while its Class C shares hovered around $393.11. Both remain slightly below their all-time closing highs set on May 13.
• Because Alphabet has multiple share classes, there’s no single magic stock price tied to the $5 trillion milestone. It’s all about the combined market value across the company’s share structure.
• Investors have been piling back into mega-cap tech as enthusiasm around artificial intelligence spending keeps lifting the sector. In today’s market, saying “AI” three times apparently summons another billion dollars in buying pressure.

🐂 Berkshire Adds Fuel to Rally

• Another boost came from Berkshire Hathaway, which disclosed a dramatically larger position in Alphabet. The investment giant now owns nearly 58 million shares worth around $17 billion.
• Just three months earlier, Berkshire held about 17.8 million shares valued near $5.6 billion. That’s not exactly a tiny portfolio adjustment — more like showing up with a flamethrower at a campfire.
• The disclosure signaled growing confidence from institutional investors that Alphabet remains one of the dominant players in AI, cloud computing, digital advertising, and basically the internet itself.
