Google Crushes Q2 Earnings, AI Momentum Builds

Alphabet ($GOOGL) delivered a blockbuster Q2 2025, handily beating Wall Street expectations across the board:

• Revenue: $96.4B vs $94B expected ✅

• EPS: $2.31 vs $2.18 expected ✅

• YouTube Ads: $9.8B vs $9.5B expected ✅

• Search Revenue: +11.7% YoY vs +8% expected ✅

What really stood out was Search, Alphabet's most scrutinized segment outperforming with nearly 12% growth despite a bearish narrative heading into earnings.

On the AI front, momentum continues to build. Gemini now boasts 450 million monthly active users, up from 400M last quarter. The company is leaning into AI more aggressively, and the impact is being felt across its product ecosystem.

Despite the strong results, the stock reaction was muted likely due to a rally leading up to the print. But the underlying shift in AI positioning could fuel long-term optimism.
