"Alphabet Considers Bid for HubSpot, Boosting Shares by 7%"
Alphabet is reportedly considering making an offer to acquire marketing software company HubSpot, causing a 7% surge in its shares. The potential deal comes amid increased antitrust scrutiny of big tech companies, with the Department of Justice filing suits against Google.
