Google’s parent firm valuation hits Sh100 trillion

As Google-parent Alphabet Inc became the fourth US firm to top a market value of more than Sh100 trillion ($1 trillion) last week, some funds holding its shares are wondering if now is the time to cash in on the stock’s extraordinary gains.

Shares of the Internet search giant are up nearly 17 per cent over the last three months, outpacing a broader rally in the S&P 500 index over the same period by six percentage points.
