Passage 1

　　Google's owner Alphabet has become a trillion-dollar company for the first time. Alphabet's value， based on the price of its Wall Street-listed shares， passed $1 tn (£776 bn) in the final minutes of trading on Thursday night， with shares closing at a record high of $1，450.16 each.

　　It marks a stellar rise for Alphabet， which floated as Google for $85 a share in 2004. After its initial public offering， the Silicon Valley firm was worth $23 bn.

　　It has followed its tech rivals Microsoft， Apple and Amazon over the $1 tn mark， amid a long rally in so-called FAANG stocks.

　　Google's value has steadily surged as it has tightened its grip on the search market， boosted its advertising revenues from web searches and YouTube， created and grown its Android mobile operating system， and launched a series of smart-tech products including Google Home and Google Assistant.

　　Alphabet may be heading for fresh milestones， with some analysts predicting it could hit the $2 tn mark. Christopher Rossbach， the CIO of the private investment firm J Stern Co， believes Alphabet s share price will continue to climb.

　　"As Alphabet joins Apple， Microsoft and (from time to time) Amazon among tech companies that have reached this level， it marks just the start for the company. It still has significant further room to grow， both in its core online advertising business as it innovates in advertising monetization and formats and in its cloud computing business，” Rossbach said.

　　"It is also disrupting new multitrillion-dollar markets， for example， healthcare， with this technology. Its sizeable investments give Alphabet a sustainable competitive advantage as it applies this technology across its business.”

　　“Alphabet can be a $2 tn company in the near future and is a compelling opportunity for long-term investors.”

　　Alphabet is now the one of most valuable US Company， behind Apple a $1.4 tn and Microsoft at $1. 27 tn， with Amazon currently worth $931 bn.
