Alphabet's $500 Billion Collapse Shows Tech Giants Vulnerable to Market Panic
Investors watch as Google’s parent company suffers its steepest plunge, raising concerns over AI hype and market speculation.
Alphabet, the parent company of Google, saw its stock price plunge, with shares sinking by as much as 15.8%. This sharp drop fuels worries among ordinary citizens about the stability of major tech firms.
The plunge erased more than $500 billion in market value, a record loss that NBC News says is the worst single‑day drop in the company’s history, while the New York Post notes the $500 billion figure.
AI fears hit fever pitch on Thursday, and if the stock closes down more than 9.77% in Thursday’s session, it will be the worst post‑earnings reaction in the company’s 22‑year history and the second‑largest single‑day loss of any stock.
