Google's stock reportedly plummeted to an all-time high of 1,191 dollars, following which its market cap hit 400 billion dollars for the first time in its history.
The increase in Google's stock comes nearly two weeks later after the company released its fourth quarter earnings report and announced plans to move forward with a long-delayed stock split.
