No they haven't. SPY YTD: 9.40%, GOOG YTD: 3.33%

They have (massively) outperformed it in 2025 though.

I'm seeing 8.43% for GOOG.
Not sure where you got 3.33%, looks to me like GOOGL is +9.44% YTD while GOOG is +9.1%.
Might be related to the massive drop this morning. According to yahoo finance, YTD GOOG is +1.81% and GOOGL +2.33%
Amusing how volatile these stocks are. In any case, my intent was not to boost Alphabet but to denounce the overheated state of the tech sector in general, so having the entirety of the Mag 7 fall below the baseline is no skin off my nose.
