Ambastha<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alphabet Inc. (<a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/GOOG\/\">GOOG<\/a>), the parent company of Google, was a star performer on Wednesday February 2, 2022 when its stock delivered a +7.4% return for the trading day. The company&#8217;s earnings and revenue figures for the latest reporting quarter exceeded expectations. Furthermore, the company also announced a 20-for-1 stock split which will, subject to shareholder approval, take effect after the close of business on Friday, July 15, 2022. Splitting 1 current share into 20 shares through a one-time special stock dividend payout may make the stock of Alphabet Inc. more affordable to retail investors and also could help Alphabet Inc. become a constituent of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). Stay tuned to see if shareholders will approve this stock split plan put forward by Alphabet Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=Alphabet+Inc.\">Alphabet Inc.<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=Alphabet\" title=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=Alphabet\">Alphabet<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=Google\">Google<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=GOOG\">GOOG<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=Dow+Jones+Industrial+Average\">Dow Jones Industrial Average<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=Dow+Jones\">Dow Jones<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=DJIA\">DJIA<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=technology\">technology<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=tech\">tech<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=earnings\">earnings<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=revenue\">revenue<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=stock+split\">stock split<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=dividend+payout\">dividend payout<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=shareholders\">shareholders<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ambasthafinancial.com\/?s=retail+investors\">retail investors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disclosure &#8211; The principals and clients of Ambastha Financial LLC have no positions in <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/GOOG\/\">GOOG<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disclaimer &#8211; No recommendations are being made via this post.
