Alphabet's stock declined 2.05% on October 10, 2025, closing at $236.57, following news that U.K. regulators threatened to force changes to its Google search engine after a 10-month investigation aimed at opening up search competition. This marks the third consecutive day of losses for the stock, which has fallen from $245.76 on October 7 to current levels. The regulatory pressure comes despite recent positive momentum from a favorable antitrust ruling in the U.S. and strong second-quarter earnings that exceeded expectations, with Q2 2025 revenue reaching $96.4 billion (up 14% year-over-year). Analyst sentiment remains bullish with 24 buy ratings and recent price targets ranging from $236 to $295, though the median target of $255 suggests potential upside from current levels. Short interest has declined 12.07% to 1.02% of float, indicating less bearish sentiment among traders.
