3. Alphabet targets $80B raise through equity offerings to fund AI spending
Berkshireās $10B investment is part of the financing package.

Rare for a public company to raise this much equity.
Alphabet stock is +123% over the past 12 months
Growing demand for Alphabetās homegrown AI chips helped drive the new raise.
Looking for an AI notetaker for your meetings?
Most AI note-takers just transcribe what was said and send you a summary after the call.
Granola is an AI notepad. And that difference matters.
You start with a clean, simple notepad. You jot down what matters to you and, in the background, Granola transcribes the meeting.
When the meeting ends, Granola uses your notes to generate clearer summaries, action items, and next steps, all from your point of view.
Then comes the powerful part: you can chat with your notes. Use Recipes (pre-made prompts) to write follow-up emails, pull out decisions, prep for your next meeting, or turn conversations into real work in seconds.
Think of it as a super-smart notes app that actually understands your meetings.
