Google has announced a $70 billion buyback plan, which is expected to positively influence its stock performance. During the Q1 2025 earnings call, the CEO highlighted the company’s achievements. Analysts from various platforms such as Yahoo Finance and Investor’s Business Daily have commented that the earnings results have alleviated concerns about Google’s search business. The rise in Alphabet’s stock, driven by AI advancements boosting ad performance, has quelled market fears. However, experts caution that while the buyback is significant, it may not lead to an immediate stock surge.
