Economic and financial analysis of the company
Alphabet was founded on October 2, 2015. It is organized as a conglomerate, i.e. divided into sectors based on the business it deals with. It deals with technology, biotechnology, financial investments and research and development. Its headquarters are in California and was led by the founders of the Google search engine, Larry Page e Sergey Brin, until December 2019, when he took over from them Sundar Pichai. Larry Page announced this holding company to spin off the different companies from the main business which was concentrated in one business sector.
Alphabet was founded to address two needs:
- Make Google-related activities more transparent
- Grant greater autonomy to group companies operating in sectors other than internet services
In 2017, the Alphabet company presented a total market capitalization of $652.415,11 million.
The Alphabet company is also part of the US NASDAQ 100 stock index and is among the 100 US companies with the largest capitalization.

The Alphabet group, thanks above all to Google, dominates the sectors of online research, video content sharing, online advertising, mobile operating systems and the use of web navigators.
Most of the profits come from online advertising through revenue from Google. In 2017 alone, they reached over $95 billion or 86% of Alphabet's total business volume. This objective is achieved through the Adwords, Adsense, YouTube channels and on its Android operating system. Google Search is the most used search engine in the world to find information online. It holds about 76% of the world market, with over 92% for the mobile sector. The Android operating system is a strong point of Alphabet. It is installed on most of the devices of the big mobile phone brands and holds about 74% of the smartphone market share in the world.
Among Alphabet's partners we find the pharmaceutical group Sanofi. This partnership was born in 2016 with the aim of creating connected objects in the field of diabetes treatment. Another partner is Chrysler with whom it has created a strategy for its activities in the autonomous vehicle sector.
Alphabet has always been active in the development of future technologies. He had begun working on the innovations of the future by developing a new operating system called Android Things in 2015. However, the project did not take off and will close its doors in January 2022. Google shares have grown in recent years and then collapsed at the beginning of the pandemic (March 2020). The stock subsequently came back strong, surpassing $2200 per share in April 2021.
