Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, has exceeded analysts’ expectations for its second-quarter revenue, largely driven by robust demand for its cloud-computing services and advertising on its search engine.
Financial Performance
The company's revenue, excluding partner payouts, reached $71.36 billion for the second quarter, surpassing the anticipated $70.7 billion by analysts. This positive outcome was reflected in Alphabet’s net income, which stood at $1.89 per share, beating Wall Street's estimate of $1.84 per share.
