Indeed, earlier this month, Judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google must end its exclusive search distribution contracts and share some data with rival search engines. However, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipranks.com\/news\/google-dodges-breakup-but-faces-major-restrictions-in-landmark-antitrust-ruling\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">did not require Google to sell off Chrome<\/a> or stop paying for search distribution deals, which the Justice Department had originally wanted. <\/p>\n<p>Elevate Your Investing Strategy:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"padding-top: 5px;\">\n<li> Take advantage of <a data-link=\"article_promo\" href=\"https:\/\/lp.tipranks.com\/july-2025-50off\/?llf=rss&amp;timer=on&amp;coupon=INTRO50P\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> TipRanks Premium at 50% off! <\/a> Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a result, on Wednesday night, both sides filed nearly 200 pages of proposals explaining how they believe the judge\u2019s order should be enforced. The Justice Department argued that Google\u2019s proposal left loopholes, such as letting it require phone makers to put Google Search on home screens or tying the installation of YouTube and Google Maps to exclusive use of its Gemini assistant. The DOJ said that these practices would clearly violate the judge\u2019s order.<\/p>\n<p>However, Google pushed back by claiming that the DOJ\u2019s definition of generative <a data-autolink=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tipranks.com\/compare-stocks\/artificial-intelligence\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AI<\/a> is overly broad and would unfairly force the company to share data with too many competitors. Nevertheless, Judge Mehta must now decide the final terms. After that, both sides have the right to appeal. Interestingly, it is worth noting that Google has already said that it plans to appeal the original finding that it held an illegal monopoly, while the Justice Department has said it is still reviewing its options following the remedies ruling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is Google Stock a Good Buy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on GOOGL stock based on 28 Buys and nine Holds assigned in the past three months.\u00a0Furthermore, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipranks.com\/stocks\/googl\/forecast\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">average GOOGL price target<\/a>\u00a0of $235.97\u00a0per share\u00a0implies 6.2% downside risk.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tipranks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-1579.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"763\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-1579-1024x763.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2429284\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipranks.com\/stocks\/googl\/forecast\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">See more GOOGL analyst ratings<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipranks.com\/glossary\/d\/disclaimer-disclosure\" style=\"margin-right: 32px;\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Disclaimer &amp; Disclosure<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipranks.com\/glossary\/c\/contact-editor\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Report an Issue<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tech giant Google (GOOGL) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) are, unsurprisingly, at odds over how to apply&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":238046,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-238045","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-united-states","10":"tag-unitedstates","11":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115229047122357787","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238045"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238045\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238046"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
