On October 10, 2025, Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) stock traded at $238.62, down -1.20% in live trading, following a recent seven-day decline from $250.43 on October 6 to $241.53 on October 9. The stock is under pressure today as the U.K. regulator threatens to open up search competition, raising concerns about potential changes to Google’s core search business[3]. This regulatory development is weighing on investor sentiment, especially after a period of strong performance driven by a favorable antitrust ruling and robust quarterly earnings[1][2]. The decline is also amplified by a broad market selloff, with major indices such as the NASDAQ Composite down -2.36% and S&P 500 down -1.86%, reflecting heightened caution across the tech sector.
