On July 23, Alphabet declined 3.11% overnight, trading at $331.93/share, with turnover of $479,800.
The decline came after Alphabet reported Q2 results that broadly beat expectations — revenue of $119.8 billion (vs. $117B estimate), EPS of $9.11 (vs. $2.87 estimate), and Google Cloud revenue of $24.77 billion surging 82% year-over-year, far exceeding the $22.46 billion consensus. Cloud backlog surged to $514 billion. However, the company raised its full-year capital expenditure guidance to $195B–$205B from a prior $180B–$190B range, with the CFO signaling significantly higher spending in fiscal 2027. Q2 capex reached $44.9 billion, and free cash flow turned negative. Management cited capacity constraints and plans to expand third-party compute resources in Q3 while building internal capacity. Despite the earnings strength, investors sold on concerns that accelerating AI infrastructure spending may pressure returns.
