“Google shares surged at the opening of Friday trading a day after the company reported earnings, adding a total of $52 billion in market capitalization in the largest single-day gain ever, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. Google’s gain of about 15 percent in early trading was having an outsized effect on the S&P 500 as well, adding 7 points at the open, according to Howard Silverblatt, an index analyst for S&P Dow Jones Indices. That beats Apple’s April 2012 gain of $46.4 billion, the prior record holder for biggest increase in market cap.”
