Indian investors can buy Google shares in fractions or a part of the whole stock value instead of the entire stock. In simple terms, you can even buy 0.1 or any fraction of Google stock units. 

Let us understand this better with an example, if you have $10 or ₹854.82 to invest and the cost of Google stock is $200 or ₹17,106, you can still invest your $10 or ₹854.82 and get 10/200 that is 0.05 units of the Google stock in your account.

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.

5 year returns of Google → 240% (Capital Appreciation 185.52% & Dollar Appreciation 19.26%)
5 year returns of Apple → 313% (Capital Appreciation 246.05% & Dollar Appreciation 19.26%)

According to the closing data from the last trading day, June 30, 2025, Google's (listed as Alphabet) share price fell. The stock closed at approximately $176.23, a decrease of about 1.29% from the previous close of $178.53 on June 27, 2025.

There was no single major news event reported on this date to explain the drop. The decline appears to be part of broader market trends and general stock volatility. Some market analysis from late June 2025 suggested that several large technology stocks, including Alphabet, were underperforming the wider S&P 500 index, which can contribute to daily price fluctuations as investor focus shifts. The movement is best understood in the context of overall market sentiment rather than specific company news.

Google (listed as Alphabet) demonstrates strong financial health, making it a compelling consideration. For its first quarter ending March 31, 2025, the company reported total revenue of $90.2 billion, a 12% increase year-over-year, and a significant 46% surge in Profit After Tax (PAT) to $34.5 billion. This growth highlights robust performance in its core Search and Cloud segments.

As of June 2025, analyst sentiment on Indmoney.com is highly positive, with 82% of 62 analysts recommending a 'Buy' and an average price target of $201.11. The stock's 1-year return as of June 2025 was -2.44%, while its P/E (TTM) ratio was 19.39. While strong fundamentals and analyst confidence are positive, investors should consider risks like regulatory scrutiny before investing.

The primary difference between Google's Class A (GOOGL) and Class C (GOOG) shares is voting rights. Class A shares, traded under the ticker GOOGL, provide one vote per share, allowing shareholders to have a say in corporate matters. In contrast, Class C shares, traded as GOOG, have no voting rights. Both share classes represent the same economic interest in Alphabet, Google's parent company, and generally have very similar price movements.

The choice of which is "better" depends entirely on an investor's priorities. If you wish to participate in shareholder votes and have a voice in the company's governance, GOOGL is the better option. If you are solely interested in the company's financial performance and do not care about voting, GOOG may be a suitable choice, and it sometimes trades at a slight discount to Class A shares. For most retail investors, the voting power is minimal, making the economic exposure offered by both classes nearly identical.

The choice between investing in Google’s Class A (GOOGL) and Class C (GOOG) shares depends on whether you value voting rights. GOOGL shares come with one vote per share, giving you a say in corporate decisions, while GOOG shares have no voting rights. Both share classes represent the same ownership in the parent company, Alphabet, and offer equal exposure to its financial performance and growth.

For most retail investors, the voting rights associated with GOOGL are largely symbolic and may not influence corporate decisions. Historically, the price difference between the two share classes has been minimal. Some investors might prefer GOOG as it sometimes trades at a slight discount and can have higher trading liquidity. Ultimately, if having a voice in company governance is important to you, GOOGL is the better choice. If you are focused solely on the investment fundamentals, GOOG is a perfectly suitable option.
