Alphabet's shares fell more than 3% in premarket trading on Wednesday after the Google-parent flagged higher expenses due to competition heating up in search and cloud computing.

Alphabet falls as expenses overshadow quarterly results beat

Alphabet beat earnings estimates for Q2 due to digital advertising and Cloud strength. Google's resilient core business performance included 29% growth in the Cloud segment, which generated over $10B in quarterly revenues for the first time. Google's P/E ratio of 21X seems woefully inadequate given the firm's strong growth in its digital advertising and Cloud segments.

Alphabet delivered strong Q2 results with expanded profit margins and significant investments in Waymo, making its stock drop slightly. The company's revenues were driven by Search, Cloud, and AI initiatives, positioning it well for future growth opportunities. Despite challenges like declining network revenues and cybersecurity risks, Alphabet's consistent and predictable growth, along with its valuation at 16x next year's operating profits, make it an attractive investment option.

Google Q2 Earnings: Investing In The Future While Expanding Margins, What Else Do You Want?

I initially rated Alphabet as 'Hold' due to concerns about Gemini. But after the recent earnings, I've decided to upgrade to 'Buy' - read on. Revenue growth in Q2 2024 amounted to 14% YoY, while EPS went up by 31.25%. Both actual figures beat the consensus. I think that just due to organic growth, Google Cloud can potentially double its current EBIT margin even without taking into account potential revenue growth (which is still there).
