Alphabet posts 24% revenue rise, Google Cloud up 82% in Q2 2026

Alphabet reported second‑quarter 2026 revenue of $119.8 billion, a 24 % year‑over‑year increase that beat analysts’ consensus estimate of $116.9 billion. Earnings per share came in at $9.11 versus the expected $2.90. Google Cloud generated $24.8 billion in revenue, soaring 82 % and becoming the fastest‑growing segment. Advertising revenue reached $81.6 billion, while search earnings grew 17 % to $63.3 billion. Operating income rose 30 % to $40.8 billion and operating margin expanded to 34 %. Net income jumped to $112.1 billion, largely driven by about $98 billion of unrealized gains on equity holdings. Capital‑expenditure guidance was lifted to $195‑205 billion for the year, and free cash flow turned negative at $5.9 billion. The company highlighted continued AI investment, launching three new Gemini Flash models and noting strong demand for AI infrastructure. Despite the strong results, the stock fell 3‑5 % in after‑hours trading as investors digested the higher capex outlook.

The earnings release underscored Alphabet’s strategy of using AI to boost its core businesses while committing massive funding to data‑center and chip development, a balance that is now under close market scrutiny.
