Google (Alphabet, GOOGL) IPO'd in August 2004 at $85 per share (pre-split). After a 2:1 stock split in 2014 and a 20:1 split in 2022, the stock has delivered extraordinary returns. $1,000 invested at IPO would be worth over $72,000 today, a return exceeding 7,100%.
Google dominates online search with 90%+ market share and controls YouTube (the world's largest video platform), Android (3B+ devices), Gmail, and Google Cloud. Since 2023, the company has emerged as an AI leader with Gemini, competing directly with OpenAI.
Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. Google depends heavily on advertising revenue, which is sensitive to regulation, privacy changes, and competition. The company's massive AI investments carry uncertain returns.
