Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) Price Target Raised to $250 by Barclays

Barclays has increased its price target for Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) from $235 to $250, reaffirming its Overweight rating. The revision follows a favorable outcome in Alphabet’s antitrust case, where the court dismissed proposals that could have forced the company to divest its Chrome browser. Barclays described the ruling as a “home run” for Google, noting that the remaining remedies are unlikely to impact its market share, revenue, or earnings.

With regulatory concerns easing, investor focus is shifting back to Alphabet’s growth drivers, particularly its AI initiatives like Gemini and its expanding footprint in commercial applications such as shopping and travel. The stock continues to trade near its 52-week high, reflecting strong market confidence.

Other major firms, including JPMorgan and Bank of America, have also raised their targets, some reaching as high as $260, signaling broad optimism around Alphabet’s trajectory.
