"Analyzing the Investment Potential of Alphabet Stock in 2024"

Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) experienced significant stock price movement in 2023, from a 52-week low to a high by year-end, driven by AI advancements and its dominant market position. In 2024, Alphabet faces challenges including the phasing out of third-party cookies in Chrome ("Chrome-ageddon") and an ongoing antitrust lawsuit over Google's search engine practices.
