Alphabet stock is up 94% over 52 weeks, while Meta is down 5.5%, with both companies continuing to expand AI across their platforms.
Yahoo Finance highlights a divergence in performance between major tech bellwethers, with Alphabet shares up sharply and Meta shares trading lower over the past year.
Alphabet, which owns Google, YouTube, and the Android ecosystem, has been integrating artificial intelligence across products including Search and Workspace via its Gemini platform, and also offers AI tools through Google Cloud. The outlet cites Alphabet stock up 94% in the last 52 weeks, and about 13% below its 52-week high of $408.61.
Meta, which runs platforms including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Threads, remains driven primarily by advertising revenue, while continuing to invest in AI and other technologies. Yahoo Finance says Meta shares have fallen 5.5% over the past 52 weeks, trading around $664 and roughly 17% below a recent high.
The article frames the contrasting stock moves as tied to how each company uses AI across its ecosystems, and notes that both companies pay dividends that provide shareholders with income alongside their growth efforts.
