Google Share
In short
Google share represents the ownership stake in Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, traded on public stock exchanges.
In plain words
When you buy a Google share, you own a tiny piece of the company. As the company makes money or grows, the value of your piece can go up or down.
A simple example
If you buy one share for £100 and the company becomes more successful, your share might be worth £120 later. You could then sell it to make a profit.
Why it matters
It allows regular people to invest in the technology industry. It also helps the company raise large amounts of money to build new tools like AI.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse a Google share with a Google search, which is a service used to find information online.
