Alphabet posts Q2 earnings beat, but boosts spending outlook
Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Google's parent company, reported second quarter results that topped Wall Street estimates on both the top and bottom lines. Earnings were $2.31 per share compared to a Bloomberg consensus estimate of $2.18. Revenue was $96.43 billion versus estimates of $93.97 billion. Revenue ex-TAC was $81.72 billion compared to the $79.6 billion estimate. The outlook for capital expenditures (CapEx), however, is higher than expected. The tech giant expects to spend $85 billion in the year, $10 billion more than had been previously expected. Roundhill Investments CEO Dave Mazza and Yahoo Finance Technology Editor Dan Howley join Market Domination Overtime with Josh Lipton to discuss the results. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination Overtime here. Alphabets second quarter earnings. They are just crossed the wires. So let's get you those results. Q2 EPS 231 versus an estimate of 218. It looks like revenue 96.43 billion versus an estimate of 93.97 billion. I'm just looking at Google ad revenue, 71.34 billion. The estimate was 69.71 billion. Turning to different segments, Google cloud revenue, 13.62 billion, estimate was 13.14 billion. YouTube ads revenue, clocks in at 9.8 billion. Street was closer to 9.56 billion. Uh also, looking ahead, they are seeing full year CAPEX. They're now looking for about 85 billion. They had seen about 75 billion, and the street consensus was more like 73 billion. Just looking at how we're getting an instant reaction here in the after hours. Remember, the stock was basically flat year-to-date, heading into this print, right now down about about call about half a percent. Dave, you're looking over these headlines like I am, you're immediate immediate response, Dave. Yeah, now some, uh, I was looking at their actual reaction of the stock, and at first, it looked to be positive to your point as you're going to the headlines or the the top-line numbers look pretty strong, um, but then when you kind of, you know, begin to peel back the onion, we'll need to see, uh, more to come in the call, that CAPEX spend number coming in, you know, well above street expectations and what was previously guidance, you know, is definitely a bit concerning, especially when, you know, we're seeing nice nice growth from important segments of the company, um, but not necessarily gangbusters. It's interesting because heading into this print, like I said, you were you were basically flat year-to-date, couple different issues. One was AI search, right, and where they are in this AI market. The other's what what was this monopoly lawsuit. It does seem like we'll have some immediate questions, though, about this CAPEX number, Dave. Again, it looks like we're looking for full year CAPEX now. They're calling for about 85 billion. They had seen 75. The estimate was 73. Yeah, no, exactly right. I think in general, the question that that we've had heading into this earnings season, and I think it's, uh, we're not alone here is just how much, uh, CAPEX is going to continue to come, right? So this is an arms race, right? We're still in the very early days of building out data centers, building large language models. At some point, though, there's going to be, uh, a preference that either corporations have, uh, or consumers have on on sort of what AI models they want to use and how does that sort of all play out. But for the time being, every company needs to continue to plow ahead here, but seeing sort of, I'm going to be very curious to see, well, what exactly are they planning to spend this on? Uh, is there something new? Um, because again, we still don't really know exactly what's going to happen with that monopoly lawsuit, um, and the impact that that could have, you know, to the growth. Some more headlines coming out, Dave. Uh, they they talk about how cloud annual revenue run rate over 50 billion. Of course, in that space, they're competing with the heavyweights like Amazon, like Microsoft. They talk about, uh, how they continue to see strong performance in YouTube. Uh, they talk about how AI is positively impacting every part of the business. I mean, the worry there, Dave, one concern has been about how how AI will impact search, will impact Google's bread and butter. How How do you think about that dynamic? Well, I think that I mean, again, they're a company that sort of has the ability to sort of integrate AI into a lot of different operations, right? So they are not, uh, alphabet's not a pure play company, right? So, um, obviously we know that it's dominated by search and sort of the ad revenue there. But you know, YouTube has been a, you know, a really bright star for it, uh, for for some time now, and the ad revenue that can come from there. And if you can begin to integrate AI into sort of, uh, those products and systems, uh, it's going to make their business a benefit pretty markedly. But at the same time, they face this existential, uh, threat of is there going to be something new? The new new when it comes to search, right? Uh, I know like a lot a lot of folks. I'm using chat GPT and other tools, uh, above a browser more and more, and at some point, uh, that's going to have to kind of, uh, you know, come to bite them. Uh, but that's why they're kind of really so focused on sort of integrating Gemini, uh, into all their different products and offerings. Uh, just your immediate thoughts and reactions to the results then, with the stock under some pressure here, at least initially. Yeah, it looks like it's that CAPEX spending, uh, you know, that extra $10 billion that we're seeing, uh, from the company. There's also, uh, they saw the growth on both the cloud side as well as on the advertising side. I think the the positive AI commentary is important, given that they're expanding that CAPEX. Uh, but, you know, as you guys are talking about that there's no real understanding as to where that extra spending is coming from. Is it is it because of tariffs? Is it because of something else along those lines? Are they investing more, uh, into other companies? Uh, you know, obviously, they purchased Windsurf, got got in on that. So is it is it more along those lines? Is it the hiring? Where is this spending going? I think that's what people really want to know what's going on.

Welcome aboard the 'AI crazy train'
Big Tech is in an AI arms race, each company trying to outspend the others on data centers, GPUs, networking gear, and talent. Engineers can be let go. But the infrastructure? That's permanent. If the AGI dream fades, you're stuck with massive, costly assets. So when Google announced it would hike capex by $10 billion to $85 billion in 2025 eyebrows went up. Most of it is for things you can't walk back: chips, data centers, and networking. Google is "jumping aboard the AI crazy train," Bernstein analyst Mark Shmulik wrote, referencing a song by the late bat biter Ozzy Osbourne. Meta's Mark Zuckerberg brags about Manhattan-sized data centers. And Elon Musk keeps hoarding GPUs. While Sam Altman is building mega-data centers with partners. JPMorgan dubbed this " vibe spending," warning OpenAI might burn $46 billion in four years. It's no shock when Elon, Zuck, and Sam flex on capex. But Google? That's surprising. "Google doesn't do this," Shmulik said. The company has been viewed as measured in recent years, prioritizing investment intensity with care. Not anymore. Now investors want to know: Will these swelling bets pay off? There are promising signs. Since May, Google's monthly token processing (the currency of generative AI) has doubled from 480 trillion to nearly a quadrillion. Search grew 12% in Q2, beating forecasts. Cloud sales surged 32%. CEO Sundar Pichai said Google is ramping up capex to support all this growth. But it's still a huge gamble. "Does the current return on invested capital seen in both Search and Cloud hold up at higher [capex] intensity levels," Shmulik asked, "or is the spend a very expensive piece of gum trying to plug an AI-sized hole?" He leans optimistic.

Welcome aboard the 'AI crazy train'
There's a fear in investing when a sector swells rapidly. Booming stock prices and aggressive spending feel great, until things inevitably cool off. Then comes the reckoning: Who overdid it in irreversible ways? Big Tech is in an AI arms race, each company trying to outspend the others on data centers, GPUs, networking gear, and talent. Engineers can be let go. But the infrastructure? That's permanent. If the AGI dream fades, you're stuck with massive, costly assets.

He leans optimistic. Still, Google shares rose just 1% after these results. Not exactly a resounding endorsement.
