[AutonomousVehicles] Waymo is now worth $126 billion

[Cornelius Butler]

Waymo has reached a historic valuation. It is now worth more than $126
billion, which now makes it more valuable than most companies that actually
build cars from scratch :)

Here is a Gemini Answer about it and direct links to news coverage:

As of February 2026, *Waymo* has reached a valuation of *$126 billion*.

This milestone followed a massive $16 billion Series D funding round
announced on February 2, 2026. The investment was led by Alphabet (its
parent company), along with major firms including Sequoia Capital,
Dragoneer Investment Group, and DST Global. This valuation marks a
significant increase from its $45 billion valuation in late 2024,
reflecting the company's rapid expansion of robotaxi services across the
United States and upcoming launches in London and Tokyo.
