Google's Ad Tech Business Faces Uncertainty After Court Ruling

On April 17 (Thursday), Judge Leonie Brinkema of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia ruled against Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) in the antitrust case concerning its advertising technology business, casting a shroud of uncertainty over the future of the tech giant’s online advertising business.

Brinkema will now need to determine what remedies to impose on Google to restore fair market competition. The plaintiffs sought to force Google to divest its Ad Manager, which includes the company's publisher ad server and its ad exchange, to restore competition in the market. This outcome is far more likely following Judge Brinkema’s ruling.

This is a developing story happening alongside a similar case against Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), which is being sued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for allegedly monopolizing social media through its acquisition of Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014.

Tech 5: Tech Stocks React to Tariffs in Bumpy Trading Week

Global markets took a beating this week as investors and world leaders reacted to sweeping tariffs announced by the Trump administration on April 2, with tensions between the US and China escalating.

After last week's losses, this week started with a brief but sizable 8.5 percent surge on Monday (April 7), followed by a sharp decline that extended into Tuesday’s (April 8) trading day.

The move came after news outlets reported a potential 90 day pause on US President Donald Trump's widespread tariffs.
