Google share prices surged Friday a day after the company reported earnings, adding a total of $52 billion in market capitalization as of the start of trading, in the largest single-day gain ever, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices.

Google trades under two tickers on the S&P 500, (GOOGL) and (GOOG). The former is the Class A shares, which enjoy voting rights, and the latter is the Class C shares, which don't. Both classes separately feed into the S&P index.
Together, the gains in the two classes of Google shares add up to $65.1 billion worth of market cap. That easily beats Apple's April 2012 gain of $46.4 billion, the prior record holder for biggest increase in market cap.
However, the entirety of Google's gain was not reflected in the S&P 500, as not all of Google's shares are freely floating (some are internally held). Google's index float is 0.84, versus Apple's float of 1. That means that only 84 percent of Google's total gains are included in the float-weighted index.

"If that market wealth was put into the S&P 500 as a separate issue, it would be the 94th-largest company in the S&P 500," S&P Dow Jones Indices senior index analyst Howard Silverblatt told CNBC in a phone interview Friday morning.
