Google Stock Drops on 1B Gemini Users Despite DoD Contract Surge
BlackHC · x · 2026-08-12
Developer BlackHC tweeted about Google's counter-intuitive stock market performance:
- After Google secured a DoD contract, guesses about its stock price surged to $400.
- However, when Gemini reached the milestone of 1 billion monthly active users, the stock price actually dropped.
This contrast sparked banter regarding the disconnect between market expectations and actual business positives.
