Alphabet (Google) (GOOGL) stock: CFD on a US share

This page does not carry a price for Alphabet (Google) because the shares trade on NASDAQ in the United States, not on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. The code GOOGL identifies a US listing, so any quote shown here would come from an outside source rather than from the local exchange. What follows is background on the company itself, drawn from public reference material.

Alphabet is a technology group built around a holding structure, with Google as its best-known operating business and a set of former Google subsidiaries sitting alongside it. The group's registered home is Mountain View, California, and its work falls within the information technology sector. It came into being when Google was reorganised under a new parent, and it was founded in 2015. Ownership is concentrated among large institutional investors, with Fidelity Investments and BlackRock listed as parent or main owners.

Because the listing sits abroad, readers looking at this page should treat it as a company profile rather than a local market quotation. Where the brief calls for it, exposure to the name can be taken through a contract for difference offered by the broker, whose own terms govern that arrangement.
