Alphabet (GOOG) stock is sliding 1.5% after the internet search giant lost a major EU court case and was sued by a fairly large American company.
Alphabet Loses EU Case
The EU's highest court ruled that Alphabet may have abused its market strength and violated antitrust laws by declining to let another firm place an app on Android Auto. However, the court added that the refusal may have been justified if the app would have harmed the app's security or integrity. GOOG has reportedly settled the current case.
GOOG was Sued by Chegg
Chegg (CHGG) sued Alphabet, saying that the search giant's AI Overviews constitute unfair competition. Chegg, which is reviewing strategic alternatives, reported that its business has been badly hurt by Google's AI summaries.
“These two actions are connected, as we would not need to review strategic alternatives if Google hadn’t launched AI Overviews." “Traffic is being blocked from ever coming to Chegg because of Google’s (AI Overviews.) and their use of Chegg’s content to keep visitors on their own platform,” Chegg CEO Nathan Schultz said.
The Recent Price Action of GOOG Stock
In the last month, GOOG stock has dropped 9.3%. However, it has climbed 4.7% in the last three months.
While we acknowledge the potential of GOOG, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter time frame.
