On 2025-11-24 (EST), a Reddit post highlighted Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) shares rising to $327 in after-hours trading following unconfirmed reports that Meta Platforms (META) is considering deploying Google’s AI chips (TPUs) in its data centers. The post also noted GOOG’s rapid 6-month rally and potential competitive pressure on NVIDIA (NVDA) [user-provided event]. Subsequent internal market data confirms recent price movements and sector trends [0].

• GOOG
  : Up 29.91% from 2025-09-15 to 2025-11-24, driven by AI chip adoption rumors and positive reception of Gemini 3 [0].
