On October 14, 2025, Alphabet (GOOGL) announced a significant $15 billion investment to expand AI data center capacity in India's Andhra Pradesh state over the next five years, underscoring its commitment to global AI infrastructure[3]. The stock last closed at $244.00, nearly flat (-0.06%), following a sharp 3.20% gain on October 13, 2025, which may reflect positive investor sentiment around recent AI and cloud growth, as well as anticipation of this major expansion. No other major company-specific news or earnings were reported for this date, and the broader market context was relatively quiet, suggesting the investment announcement is the primary driver of attention for Alphabet at this time.
