US-Börsen: Massiver Kursrutsch von Alphabet: Google-Mutter verliert 500 Milliarden Dollar Börsenwert
Für den Tech-Konzern war es der schlechteste Tag jemals an der Börse. Das hat auch den Nasdaq belastet, der deutlich im Minus schließt. Auch der Dow verliert.
The stock market in the United States experienced a massive drop as Alphabet, the parent company of Google, lost $500 billion in market value on Thursday. Despite the presence of stronger economic growth data in the United States, investors were unable to persuade the tech giant to make purchases. Instead, disappointing quarterly results from Alphabet contributed to a decline in its stock prices.
All major US indices closed in the red on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, a benchmark of key stocks, fell by nearly 0.3 percent to 52,343 points. The broader S&P 500 index also dropped by 0.3 percent, closing at 7,721. The technology-focused Nasdaq composite index saw a 1.4 percent decline, settling at 26,185 points.
Among the various markets, the Nasdaq 100, which tracks the 100 largest non-financial companies by market capitalization, closed down 1.4 percent at 29,403. Thursday marked the worst day for Alphabet's stock since the company went public, with its shares plunging 12.64 percent, reducing the company's market value to $3.47 trillion.
This loss surpassed the record decline of chipmaker Nvidia in early January, when the company lost nearly $600 billion in market capitalization.
