Concerns Over Google's Potential Breakup

The Department of Justice is exploring the possibility of a breakup of Alphabet, spurred by alleged monopolistic practices. Reports suggest that the DOJ is considering drastic measures, potentially reminiscent of the 1982 breakup of the Bell telephone system. Analysts previously speculated that splitting Google into smaller entities could unlock significant value, potentially raising the combined market cap of these separated businesses above Google's current valuation. This ongoing scrutiny raises uncertainties about the future structure of the company and its competitive position in the tech landscape.
