(MENAFN - Investor Brand Network) The U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") is considering asking
Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL, GOOG) , parent of Google, to sell its Chrome browser. This is part of an investigation into Google's search monopoly. Chrome is a key part of Google's internet services, and its potential sale could be a major development in the case. This scrutiny is part of broader efforts to address concerns over Google's dominance in the search market.

The potential sale of Chrome could serve as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the DOJ. This development highlights the increasing regulatory pressure on Google to address antitrust concerns. Despite these challenges,
GOOGL's stock price
is currently
$176.42 , reflecting an increase of
0.64%
or
$1.12 . This suggests that investors remain confident in the company's ability to navigate these regulatory hurdles.

Today, GOOGL's stock has traded between a low of
$173.56
and a high of
$177.16 . Over the past year, the stock has reached a high of
$191.75
and a low of
$127.90 . This range indicates the volatility that GOOGL has experienced, possibly due to ongoing regulatory scrutiny and market conditions. However, the company's market capitalization remains strong at approximately
$2.17 trillion .

The trading volume for Alphabet is
10,487,319
shares. This high volume suggests that there is significant interest in the stock, despite the potential regulatory challenges. Investors may be closely watching the developments in the DOJ investigation and the potential sale of Chrome, as these could have significant implications for Alphabet's future.
