About company

Alphabet Inc., established as the parent company of Google, operates as a conglomerate holding company overseeing a collection of businesses, with Google being its largest and most well-known entity. Alphabet was created to provide a more structured organization for Google's expansive range of internet products and services, as well as to foster growth and innovation within its more speculative ventures, such as Life Sciences (focused on health technologies like glucose-sensing contact lenses) and Calico (dedicated to longevity research). Under this new structure, Alphabet aims to enhance management efficiency and focus by allowing its diverse subsidiaries to operate independently, each led by strong CEOs, while still benefiting from Alphabet's overarching strategic vision and resources. This reorganization also introduced segment reporting to improve transparency, with Google's financials being reported separately from those of other Alphabet businesses. Alphabet Inc. trades on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the symbols GOOGL and GOOG, continuing Google's legacy while aiming to push the boundaries of technology and innovation further.
