GOOGL · Nasdaq
Alphabet sells internet services, digital advertising, cloud computing, consumer devices and software, while also investing in emerging businesses such as autonomous driving through Waymo. Google Services is the company’s dominant, cash-generating business and includes Search, YouTube and advertising; Google Cloud is a growing business benefiting from demand for cloud and AI infrastructure; and Other Bets remains comparatively small and focused on longer-term opportunities. Customers include consumers, advertisers, developers, enterprises and cloud users. Alphabet generated $402.8 billion of revenue and $132.2 billion of net income in FY2025, up from $350.0 billion and $100.1 billion, respectively, in FY2024.
Alphabet rose 13.17%, from $333.71 to $377.65, with the advance concentrated in the final three sessions. The stock edged up on July 29, slipped $3.05 on July 30, then jumped $22.47 on July 31, gained another $17.38 on August 3, and added $4.14 on August 4. The supplied evidence does not identify a dated, company-specific announcement explaining the sharp July 31 move. Instead, trading appears to have reflected renewed enthusiasm for artificial-intelligence infrastructure, including Alphabet’s decision to sell Tensor Processing Units directly to external data centers, and optimism around hyperscaler growth. On August 3, the broader market also rallied as Middle East tensions eased, with the Nasdaq 100 gaining 1.78%, providing additional support.
