Alphabet Considers Takeover Offer for HubSpot

Google parent Alphabet is considering making a bid for HubSpot, an online marketing software company with a market value of $35 billion, in what would be its largest acquisition ever. The potential deal would allow Alphabet to expand its offerings in customer relationship management (CRM) software and tap into a wider base of enterprise customers. However, the move comes amid heightened regulatory scrutiny of the tech sector, and Alphabet is reportedly discussing how much to offer and whether antitrust regulators would approve the acquisition.
