Google CEO Sundar Pichai sells Google stock worth $5.15 million under the ‘trading plan’ adopted in December 2024

Google parent Alphabet Inc Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai recently sold approximately $5.15 million worth of company stock. According to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 2, 2025, the sales involved Class C Capital Stock and were executed at prices ranging from $157.23 to $159.97 per share. The move comes as Alphabet’s stock hovers near its 52-week low of $147.22, reflecting a roughly 20% decline year-to-date in 2025 amid broader market pressures on the tech sector.

The sales were carried out under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan, which Pichai established on December 2, 2024, allowing corporate insiders to sell shares at predetermined times to avoid accusations of insider trading.
