Analysts at Barclays warn that if a U.S. judge mandates Google to divest the Chrome browser, Alphabet's stock price could plummet by 15% to 25%, with earnings per share potentially facing a 30% hit. The loss Google incurs in the antitrust lawsuit, compounded by the Department of Justice's recommendation for the judge to force Google to divest Chrome, share search data, and prohibit exclusive agreements, significantly heightens the prospect of a divestiture, dealing a severe blow to Google.
