Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) is facing a drop in its stock price Wednesday following reports indicating the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is considering breaking up Google as a potential remedy for its monopolization of the search engine market.
Alphabet's Shares Decline: The DOJ's consideration of a breakup is seen as a response to a U.S. District Court ruling that found Google had engaged in monopolistic practices to maintain its dominance in the search engine industry. The potential breakup is one of the options being explored as a solution to the company's antitrust violations.
This would mark a historic move, being the first attempt to dismantle a company for monopolization since the DOJ's unsuccessful bid against Microsoft.
T-Mobile's Strategic Moves: While Alphabet grapples with its legal challenges, T-Mobile is making strategic moves to capitalize on the launch of Google's latest devices. The company has introduced the new Google Pixel 9 series and Pixel Watch 3 with a range of exclusive offers designed to attract customers.
T-Mobile is offering $100 off the Pixel 9 Pro and $200 off the Pixel 9 Pro XL, with no trade-in or new line required. Additionally, the company is providing up to $1,000 off select Pixel models with trade-ins or new lines on its Go5G Plus/Next or Go5G Business Plus/Next plans. Customers who pre-order the Pixel 9 or Pixel 9 Pro XL will also receive double the storage at no extra cost.
Google Pixel 9 Series Launch: Google recently unveiled its Pixel 9 series, including the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. These new models feature advanced AI capabilities, such as the Reimagine in Magic Editor, Pixel Screenshots and the Gemini Nano multimodal AI, which enhances accessibility and user experience.
However, the launch was not without its challenges. During a live demonstration at the "Made by Google" event, Google's AI assistant Gemini experienced two consecutive glitches, raising concerns about the reliability of the new features.
GOOG Price Action: Alphabet shares were down by 3.13% at $159.02 according to Benzinga Pro.
Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG)面臨股價下跌，週三有報道稱美國司法部（DOJ）考慮將谷歌拆分作爲解決搜索引擎市場壟斷問題的潛在解決方案。
Alphabet的股票下跌：美國地方法院做出裁決，發現谷歌從事壟斷行爲以維持其在搜索引擎行業的主導地位，因此司法部考慮拆分公司作爲反壟斷違規行爲的解決方案之一。
這將標誌着一次歷史性的舉動，這是自司法部對微軟進行失敗的拆分嘗試以來，首次試圖拆分一家公司壟斷。
t-Mobile的戰略舉措：雖然Alphabet正在應對其法律挑戰，但T-Mobile正在採取戰略舉措，以利用谷歌最新設備的發佈。該公司推出了新的Google Pixel 9系列和Pixel Watch 3，提供了一系列旨在吸引客戶的獨家優惠。
T-Mobile爲Pixel 9 Pro提供100美元折扣，爲Pixel 9 Pro XL提供200美元折扣，無需交易或新增線路。此外，該公司還可在其Go5G Plus/Next或Go5G Business Plus/Next計劃上通過換貨或新增線路提供高達1000美元的特定Pixel型號折扣。預訂Pixel 9或Pixel 9 Pro XL的客戶還將獲得雙倍存儲空間，無需額外費用。
Google Pixel 9系列發佈：谷歌最近推出了Pixel 9系列，包括Pixel 9、Pixel 9 Pro、Pixel 9 Pro XL和Pixel 9 Pro Fold。這些新型號具有先進的人工智能功能，例如重新想象的魔法編輯器、像素屏幕截圖和Gemini Nano多模式AI，可增強可訪問性和用戶體驗。
但是，這次發佈也面臨着一些挑戰。在「由Google製造」的活動中進行現場演示期間，谷歌的AI助手Gemini經歷了兩次連續的故障，引發了人們對新功能可靠性的擔憂。
GOOG的股價動態：據Benzinga Pro報道，Alphabet的股價下跌了3.13%，至159.02美元。
