Bravo to Alphabet (GOOGL), Google's parent company, for reporting a 32% revenue growth since 2020. 

After a pandemic-led boom in digital advertising, Alphabet doubled its profits in 2021. This shows that Google remains the alpha in online advertising. Shares of Alphabet surged over 10% after the news broke out. It also happened to announce a 20-for-1 stock split.

A stock split allows a company to break each existing share into multiple new shares while lowering the price of each stock. From around $2,700, each stock will now cost $138 and be accessible to small investors. Tesla (TSLA) and Apple have done it before, and Alphabet is the latest.
