""year-over-year comparisons in advertising will be negatively impacted by the strong spend on U.S. Elections in 2024, particularly on YouTube." "we still expect to remain in a tight demand-supply environment in Q4 and 2026," referencing data center and server capacity deployments.

Alphabet reported consolidated revenue of $102.3 billion, up 16% year over year (15% in constant currency). Net income rose to $35 billion, a 33% increase, with earnings per share of $2.87. Operating income reached $31.2 billion and operating margin was 30.5% (33.9% excluding the European Commission fine). Google Services revenue increased 14% to $87.1 billion, with Search and YouTube advertising each up 15%. Cloud revenue grew 34% to $15.2 billion, with operating income up 85% and a 23.7% segment margin. Free cash flow was $24.5 billion for the quarter and $73.6 billion trailing twelve months. Management cautioned that strong 2024 U.S. election ad spend will make year-over-year advertising comparisons difficult, and that elevated investments in technical infrastructure will raise depreciation and data center energy costs, keeping supply tight into Q4 and 2026.
