Here are Cramer’s complete thoughts about Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) after the court ruling:
“Now, though, let us talk about what really matters. What happened today? Google and Apple, that’s what happened because they are today’s example of the dreaded, dangerous concentration… I listened to the sirens and saw one of the canaries fighting for its life last year. The canary was Google, now Alphabet. After owning this stock for years, in 2024, I decided that its version of artificial intelligence, Gemini, was cannibalizing its regular search… And more important, I was worried about the antitrust regulators going after them… You can’t be a monopolist. It’s illegal. I thought for a moment that this could be good news, that Alphabet could be broken into different pieces and that would amount to more than the sum of its parts kind of thing.
