Alphabet Fiscal Q3 2025
Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Google’s parent company, announced its first-ever quarter with over $100 billion in revenue. This showed the strength of its online business despite legal and competitive challenges. However, this comes shortly after a U.S. court decision in a major antitrust case against Google’s search engine, which didn’t significantly impact the company.
From July to September, Alphabet made nearly $35 billion in profit, a 33% jump from last year, and revenue grew 16% to $102.3 billion. Both numbers beat expectations.
Highlights:
In Q3, Google made major progress across its businesses:
Its AI infrastructure expanded with powerful chips from NVIDIA and its own TPUs, including the upcoming Ironwood. Demand is high, with Anthropic planning to use up to 1 million TPUs. Google’s AI models like Gemini, Veo, and Genie are widely used, and its Willow quantum chip achieved a breakthrough by running an algorithm 13,000 times faster than a top supercomputer.
Google now processes over 1.3 quadrillion tokens monthly, a 20-fold increase in a year. Search saw strong growth thanks to AI Overviews and AI Mode, which now has over 75 million daily users across 40 languages.
Google Cloud added 34% more customers year-over-year, signed more billion-dollar deals than the past two years combined, and saw over 200% growth in generative AI revenue. Gemini Enterprise already has over 2 million subscribers.
YouTube remained the top streaming platform in U.S. living rooms and broke records with its first live NFL broadcast. Shorts are now more profitable per watch hour than traditional videos, and new AI tools are helping creators work faster and earn more.
Waymo expanded into new cities and airports, launched teen and business services, and is preparing for a big year ahead.
Boards Statements
Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai announced record-breaking results, emphasizing the transformative impact of AI across the company.
Alphabet achieved its first-ever $100 billion quarter, doubling revenue from five years ago. Growth was broad-based, with strong performance in Cloud, YouTube, and subscriptions. Google’s Gemini models now process 7 billion tokens per minute via API, and the Gemini app reached over 650 million monthly active users, with query volume tripling since Q2.
Cloud revenue surged, driving a 46% increase in backlog to $155 billion. Paid subscriptions also crossed 300 million, led by Google One and YouTube Premium.
Impact on the Stock Market
Following Alphabet’s record-breaking Q3 earnings, its stock jumped over 6% in pre-market trading, positioning shares to hit a new all-time high. This adds to a 30% rally since early September, generating nearly $770 billion in shareholder value. The surge began after a U.S. judge declined the Justice Department’s proposal to break up Google’s search business, easing concerns over regulatory threats.
