    RECEIPT #ARI-PA

    DEC 30, 2024

    Story still evolving.

    PREDICTION BY

    Ari Paparo
    Google will settle with the DOJ by agreeing to divest its publisher ad server and possibly its ad exchange, spinning them into a separate, publicly traded company, rather than risk a breakup of its broader advertising business.

    FOLLOW-UP

    As of mid-2026, the DOJ’s Google ad tech case has not been resolved via a settlement that definitively matches this scenario; there has been no completed, announced spin-off of Google’s publisher ad server and ad exchange into a separate public company. Google’s ad tech operations remain under Google/Alphabet.
