Share of Combined Market Value

META 29%GOOGL 71%

The two largest sellers of digital advertising. Meta earns its revenue from ads across Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp; Alphabet from search and YouTube ads plus its cloud business. Both are investing heavily in AI infrastructure.

Each series is converted to a percentage of its own starting point, so all of them begin at zero. What is compared is the return over the period, not price levels.
