Alphabet Shares Fall Over 10% After Q3 Revenue Miss and Rising AI Spending
Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company, reported third-quarter revenue of $127.6 billion, a 25% year-on-year increase driven by strong growth in Google Cloud and Search. However, the company missed Wall Street profit and revenue estimates, with net income falling 25% to $26.2 billion and adjusted earnings per share below expectations. Heavy investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure led to a negative free cash flow of $9.07 billion, raising investor concerns. Alphabet's shares dropped over 10% in after-hours trading, marking one of its largest single-day declines amid worries about AI spending and slowing advertising growth.
