[Alphabet](https://abc.xyz/investor/) BLEW PAST every estimate in its latest quarter. RESULTS

So, total revenue for the company reached $96.43 billion, up 14% compared to last year. This is a clear beat, as analysts were expecting revenue around $94 billion. Simply put, Google continues to outperform market expectations and prove that it's in top form.

“And where did this revenue come from?

Well, Search — Google's traditional and most stable segment — grew by 12%. While that might sound "modest" compared to the other segments, it’s huge considering the scale of this unit. Search is far from dead; it remains the backbone of Alphabet  and of online information as a whole.

In Cloud, things were even more impressive. Revenue here increased by 32%, bringing Google Cloud's income to $13.6 billion. It’s not just that demand is growing — it’s growing steadily, with a strengthened backlog (the contracted pipeline of future work).

YouTube Ads also performed excellently, with a 13% increase. And this during a time when global ad spending is still cautious. The platform shows remarkable resilience — both in long-form content and the newer Shorts format.

In the category of Subscriptions, Devices & Platforms, growth reached 20%. Google One, YouTube Premium, and the Pixel lineup have done a great job enhancing the diversity of revenue streams. This shows a company that doesn’t rest on its laurels but constantly strives to diversify its model.

Finally, operating income hit $31.27 billion, with an operating margin of 32%. While stable year-over-year, that’s impressively high for a tech company — and this during a time when the company is drastically increasing capital expenditures to build the infrastructure of tomorrow.

Essentially, every major segment of Google  is growing, and doing so at double-digit rates. This isn’t just growth — it’s broad, synchronized performance across all business lines.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Sundar Pichai was clear:


> AI is positively impacting every part of the business.

And that shows not just in revenue, but in the company’s strategic direction. Alphabet  is increasing its investments from $75 billion to $85 billion for 2025, with an additional $12.5 billion loan, to fuel growth in AI and Cloud.

I am  talking about the heart of the tech revolution. With tools like Gemini, AI Overviews, and AIMode, Google is solidifying its position as a global leader in artificial intelligence.

To put it simply?
Google isn’t afraid to invest in the future — and that’s exactly what i want to see from a company in my portfolio.
I want boldness, vision, and aggressive bets on technologies that will dominate the next decade.
