Google’s strong earnings report this quarter, with revenue surpassing $88 billion and exceeding expectations, has boosted its stock by 6% in after-hours trading. The rise reflects Google’s continued success with its AI investments, which are benefiting both consumer engagement and partner support. CEO Sundar Pichai attributes this growth to the company’s strategic focus on AI, which has allowed Google to advance its products in search, advertising, and cloud services. This performance could signal a positive trend for other tech giants like Microsoft and Meta, which also heavily rely on AI to fuel growth.
Microsoft and Meta report earnings soon, and analysts anticipate that Microsoft’s cloud and AI developments, as well as Meta’s AI-optimized advertising, will also show significant gains. Meta, in particular, has seen AI improve its ad revenue, a key component of its growth strategy as it competes with Google and other tech leaders. The overall investor confidence in these companies’ AI strategies suggests that a robust performance from Microsoft and Meta is likely to mirror Google’s momentum.
