There’s movement going on in the Magnificent Seven group of stocks. <\/p>\n
Shares of Alphabet<\/a>, the parent of Google, rose 2.4% on Wednesday, to give the firm a market capitalization of $3.89 trillion. Meanwhile, Apple<\/a>, the parent of the iPhone (so to speak), retreated 0.8%, and ended the day with a capitalization of $3.85 trillion. <\/p>\n It’s the first time since 2019 that Alphabet has overtaken Apple in valuation<\/a>, and another sign of how the Cupertino-based company is falling behind in the artificial intelligence race. <\/strong> Apple’s promised launch of a smarter Siri, its AI voice assistant, in 2025, was delayed, and still lacks a concrete release date<\/a>. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, Alphabet’s quickfire deployments of new AI models and generators have earned it more users and investor cheer<\/a>, making it the best-performing stock<\/a> among Big Tech last year.<\/p>\n Movement, on a more literal level, was a point of contention for Tesla<\/a> and Nvidia<\/a>. Jensen Huang, CEO of the semiconductor behemoth, announced Alpamayo, an AI reasoning model<\/a> for developing self-driving vehicles, at the CES conference Monday. <\/p>\n While Tesla CEO Elon Musk acknowledges<\/a> it as “maybe a competitive pressure on Tesla,” he added that it’ll only be a challenger in “5 or 6 years, but probably longer.” <\/p>\n For what it’s worth, it’s not the first time Musk has dismissed competitors. In October 2011, he said in an interview, “I don’t think [BYD has] a great product.” In 2025, BYD<\/a> overtook Tesla as the world’s biggest seller of electric vehicles<\/a>.<\/p>\n What you need to know todayAnd finally…<\/p>\n Sermitsiaq Mountain looms behind a row of houses in Nuuk, Greenland, on March 4, 2025.<\/p>\n Odd Andersen | Afp | Getty Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man walks past the Google signage outside the US tech giant’s Ananta office in Bengaluru, India, on…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":501234,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[68226,4960,11732,64,81,73678,55034,69,144,8298,135,143,8113,147,145,8187,158,141,67,132,68,32322,7999],"class_list":{"0":"post-501233","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-alphabet-class-a","9":"tag-apple-inc","10":"tag-breaking-news-technology","11":"tag-business","12":"tag-business-news","13":"tag-byd-co-ltd","14":"tag-dax","15":"tag-donald-trump","16":"tag-dow-jones-industrial-average","17":"tag-greenland","18":"tag-markets","19":"tag-nasdaq-composite","20":"tag-netflix-inc","21":"tag-nvidia-corp","22":"tag-sp-500-index","23":"tag-stoxx-600","24":"tag-technology","25":"tag-tesla-inc","26":"tag-united-states","27":"tag-unitedstates","28":"tag-us","29":"tag-venezuela","30":"tag-world-markets"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115859305578518868","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501233","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=501233"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501233\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=501233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=501233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
