EU top court to rule on record 4.1 bn euro Google fine

The EU’s top court will rule Thursday on whether to uphold a record €4.1B ($4.7B) antitrust fine against Google tied to alleged anticompetitive practices for its Android operating system. The decision is a meaningful regulatory overhang that could affect Google’s compliance posture and future EU risk. Until the ruling, investors may treat Android-related antitrust exposure as elevated.
