Google had a massive quarter thanks to Search and AI
Google made nearly $85 billion over the past few months as revenue from its Search and cloud computing businesses soared. That’s according to the quarter two earnings report released by Google’s parent company, Alphabet, on Tuesday, which says Search alone raked in $48.5 billion.
Meanwhile, Google’s cloud division hit $10 billion for the first time while also achieving $1 billion in operating profit. During an earnings call on Tuesday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the company’s generative AI solutions for Cloud customers “already generated billions in revenues and are being used by more than 2 million developers.”
“We are innovating at every layer of the AI stack,” Pichai says in a letter to investors. “Our longstanding infrastructure leadership and in-house research teams position us well as technology evolves and as we pursue the many opportunities ahead.”
Other areas of Alphabet saw growth as well. Google’s advertising business ballooned to $64.6 billion, while YouTube ads rose 13 percent year over year to $8.6 billion. The division including subscriptions, platforms, and devices made $9.3 billion.
Correction, July 23rd: A previous version of the article misstated that Google made $85 million when it actually made $85 billion.
