January 13, Fineko/abc.az. After the opening of trading on January 12, Alphabet Corporation's shares rose by 1.7%, bringing company's market capitalization up to over $4 trillion for the first time.

ABC.AZ informs that Alphabet became the fourth company in the world whose value has ever exceeded this threshold - after Nvidia, Apple and Microsoft.

A few days ago, Alphabet surpassed Apple in market capitalization for the first time since 2019 and became the second most valuable company in the world after Nvidia.

Alphabet shares rose by 65% last year, and by nearly 5% since the beginning of this year. According to analysts, the recent growth in the company's shares is due to its successes in the field of artificial intelligence and cloud technologies, in particular, the positive reaction to new model Gemini 3. The current growth is also attributed to the spread of information that Apple has chosen Gemini to develop AI technologies in its digital assistant Siri.
