Alphabet&#8217;s strengthening of its position indicates that the market is increasingly linking value creation with the development and commercialization of artificial intelligence. Apple&#8217;s lag against this backdrop intensifies discussions about which business models will prove most sustainable in the new technological phase.  <\/p>\n<h3>What happened<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Alphabet Inc. <a href=\"https:\/\/financialpost.com\/investing\/alphabet-becomes-second-most-valuable-company\">surpassed<\/a> Apple Inc. and became the world&#8217;s second-largest market capitalization company. <\/li>\n<li>Alphabet&#8217;s capitalization growth is linked to the strengthening of Google&#8217;s parent company&#8217;s position in the field of artificial intelligence and the market&#8217;s positive reaction to the development of its AI directions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Numbers and facts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Alphabet shares grew by 2.4% on Wednesday, and the company&#8217;s market capitalization reached $3.89 trillion.<\/li>\n<li>Apple&#8217;s market capitalization after the same trading session amounted to $3.85 trillion.<\/li>\n<li>During six trading days, Apple shares fell by almost 5%, which led to a $200 billion reduction in the company&#8217;s value.<\/li>\n<li>On Thursday, Apple shares opened with a 1.2% decrease, while Alphabet shares increased by 1.1%, increasing the gap between companies.<\/li>\n<li>Since the beginning of 2025, Alphabet shares have increased by more than 65%, showing the best result among the Magnificent Seven group of companies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Context<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Investors increasingly view Alphabet as one of the key beneficiaries of the global artificial intelligence boom.<\/li>\n<li>Positive assessments of new AI models and the development of its own computing infrastructure have reduced concerns about competition from players like OpenAI.<\/li>\n<li>As a result, the market places higher expectations on Alphabet&#8217;s future revenues compared to Apple&#8217;s traditional growth drivers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The market rated Google&#8217;s AI strategy higher than Apple&#8217;s traditional growth drivers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":15010,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sharing_image":{"poster":"https:\/\/frank.uz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/6960de18f160c.jpg","width":1200,"height":630,"template":"2bf59057","mode":"auto"},"_sharing_image_fieldset":{"Dv78f24rp1hU":15010,"YlB8HH34jIzY":"Alphabet surpassed Apple and became the world&#8217;s second-largest capitalization company"},"pin_until":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3756],"tags":[3346,3761],"class_list":["post-15021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-companies","tag-digital-technologies","tag-stocks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.0 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Alphabet surpassed Apple and became the world&#039;s second-largest capitalization company &#8212;
