Google surges after buying back billions of dollars of its own stock

Alphabet, the parent company of Google, saw a significant rebound in its stock price after a tumultuous day for the tech sector, following its announcement of a substantial cash dividend and share buyback program.

The company declared its first quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share, scheduled to be paid on June 17 to shareholders as of June 10, alongside a $70 billion share repurchase initiative.

In response to the announcement, Alphabet’s stock surged by as much as 13% in after-hours trading, CNN reported.
