The recent endeavors that Google has been focused on like research lab Google X and Calico, a look into how to extend human life, have been ambitious but a step in the right direction for the Web operator. This new company has already continued to boost their shares with a 4.1 percent increase.

An analyst at BGC Financial, Colin Gillis said “There’s been a lot of speculation about how much money they put into these other ventures. That will come to an end. This also gives them the structure to add in another business line if they were to acquire something.â€

Larry Page will continue as chief executive officer at Alphabet with co-founder Sergey Brin as president. Omid Korestani will become an adviser for Alphabet and Google. Ruth Porat will be the chief financial officer while Sundar Pichai will become the CEO of Google Inc in place of Page. Google Inc. generates the majority of the company’s $60 billion annual revenue.
