Another way to understand this is, if 1 Google stock costs $191.24 or ₹16,356.76, you can buy Google stock worth $250 or ₹21,382.50 which will give you 250/191.24 units which means you will get 1.31 Google shares.
 

An investor investing in US stocks from India not only benefits from stock or capital returns but also gets the benefit of dollar appreciation versus rupees.

If an Indian resident would have invested in Google from India, 5 years ago then the total returns (including dollar appreciation) from Google stock would be 240%. The annualised return would be 28%.

To understand this in simple terms, capital appreciation in the last 5 years from Google stocks would be 185.52%.
On top of this, the investors will enjoy the gains from appreciation in dollar value versus rupees which would be 19.26%. The calculation is for the last 5 years.

Hence, investing in US stocks from the US will only give an investor capital gains, but an Indian investor will enjoy additional gains from dollar appreciation.

Google stock has given 240% returns in the last 5 years, whereas Apple stock has given 313%. $100 invested in Google stock 5 years ago would have become $340 and $100 invested in Apple stock would have become $413.

Despite strong Q1 2025 results (ending March 31, 2025) with total revenue of $90.2 billion (a 12% year-over-year increase) and net income of $34.5 billion (a 46% year-over-year increase), recent investor sentiment may be influenced by concerns over its core search business. Reports in May 2025 highlighted potential challenges from growing AI competition in search, with some data suggesting a possible decline in Google Search volumes on certain platforms.

Google (listed as Alphabet.) (GOOGL) reported strong recent financials. For Q1 2025 (ending March 31, 2025), Total Revenue was $90.2 billion (a 12% year-over-year increase) and Profit After Tax (PAT) was $34.5 billion (a 46% year-over-year increase). For the full fiscal year 2024 (ending December 31, 2024), Total Revenue reached $350.0 billion (a 14% year-over-year increase) with PAT at $100.1 billion (a 36% year-over-year increase).

Valuation metrics show a P/E (TTM) of 20.1x (as of June 11, 2025, based on earnings as of March 31, 2025) and a P/B ratio of 6.0x (as of Q1 2025). Analyst sentiment from Indmoney (data as of early June 2025) indicates 76% of analysts recommend 'Buy' with an average target price of $199.11. Key strengths are robust Cloud growth (+28% YoY in Q1 2025) and AI advancements, while risks include potential AI competition and ongoing regulatory scrutiny.

Alphabet (Google) offers two main classes of publicly traded shares: Class A (GOOGL) and Class C (GOOG). The primary difference is that GOOGL shares come with one vote per share in corporate matters, while GOOG shares have no voting rights. Both share classes represent an equal economic interest in the company and would receive the same dividend amount, should Alphabet declare any.

Historically, GOOGL shares have often traded at a slight premium to GOOG shares due to the voting rights, though this difference is usually small and their price movements are highly correlated. For most individual investors, the lack of voting rights in GOOG shares has minimal practical impact. Therefore, if GOOG is trading at a lower price, it might be slightly more attractive. However, if having a say in shareholder votes is important to you, GOOGL would be the preferred option.

GOOGL and GOOG are both stock ticker symbols for Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company. The primary difference lies in voting rights: GOOGL (Class A) shares provide one vote per share, while GOOG (Class C) shares have no voting rights. Both share classes represent the same ownership stake in the company and generally have very similar price movements.

For most individual investors, the choice between GOOGL and GOOG has minimal practical impact, as influencing corporate decisions with a small number of shares is unlikely. Some investors might prefer GOOGL if they value having voting rights, however small their influence. Others might opt for GOOG as it sometimes trades at a slightly lower price or may offer marginally better liquidity for common stock trading. Ultimately, both offer exposure to Alphabet's performance.

Google (listed as Alphabet.) (GOOGL) presents a mixed near-term picture.
