A recent U.S. judge's decision in Google's online search monopoly case is a "big win" for the company, as it avoids major structural changes like selling off Chrome or Android. While Google must share information with competitors, it can continue payments to partners like Apple for preloading its products. This positive antitrust ruling led to Alphabet Class A ($GOOGL) rising $12.19 (5.77%) in after-hours trading to $223.51, indicating strong investor confidence.
