Alphabet shares rose by 6pc in pre-market trading today after a US judge ruled against breaking up the Google parent in an antitrust case, easing a major regulatory overhang for the tech giant.
The ruling by Judge Amit Mehta allows Google to retain control of its Chrome browser and Android mobile operating system, while barring certain exclusive contracts with device makers and browser developers.
