Google ruling good news for tech industrypublished at 22:39 British Summer Time<\/p>\n

The general consensus on Wall Street is that Tuesday\u2019s ruling from Judge Amit Mehta is good news for Big Tech.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe regulator\u2019s bark is bigger than the bite,\u201d Deepwater Asset Management Managing Partner Gene Munster posts to X after the ruling is handed down.<\/p>\n

Google shares are trading 8% higher on the decision that the company can keep Chrome, he notes, while Apple shares also benefits from the expectation that it can maintain a deal that makes Google\u2019s search engine the default on its Safari browser.<\/p>\n

It was revealed at trial that Google paid more than $26 billion (\u00a320.5 billion) for such deals with Apple, Mozilla, and others in 2021.<\/p>\n

Judge Mehta\u2019s ruling \u201cdoesn\u2019t seem to be as draconian as the market was expecting,\u201d says Melissa Otto, Head of TMT Research at S&P Global Visible Alpha.<\/p>\n

With Google Search expected to generate closer to $200 billion this fiscal year, and tens of billions of that expected to go to distribution partners, it\u2019s a win-win for the major corporate players involved in the case, Otto says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google ruling good news for tech industrypublished at 22:39 British Summer Time 22:39 BST Lily JamaliNorth America Technology…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":357,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-110069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110069\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
