Alphabet stock shrugs off report that the DOJ wants Google to sell off its Chrome browser

Being forced to sell off Chrome would mark a seismic shift for the search giant and its digital ads business, but such a move is far from certain at the moment.

Usually, a stock that is not moving much is no cause for news. But the case is different today when it comes to the stock price of Alphabet Inc., the company that owns Google. Alphabet’s stock price (Nasdaq: GOOG) is currently down less than 1% in premarket trading this morning.
