Did GOOG Beat Earnings? Q2 2026 Results

Alphabet Inc. delivered a blowout second quarter for fiscal 2026, posting earnings per share of $9.11 against a consensus estimate of $3.04, a beat of 199.41% that extended the company's streak of topping EPS estimates to 11 consecutive quarters. Revenue climbed 24.2% year-over-year to $119.80 billion, edging past the $116.91 billion consensus by 2.47%, and marking the company's 12th straight quarter of double-digit revenue growth. The headline driver was Google Cloud, which accelerated to 82% revenue growth and reached $24.77 billion, fueled by surging enterprise demand for AI infrastructure, with CEO Sundar Pichai noting that nearly 90% of the Fortune 100 now use Gemini Enterprise. Operating income expanded 30% to $40.77 billion, lifting operating margin two percentage points to 34%, while reported net income of $112.11 billion was substantially inflated by a $99.03 billion gain on equity securities. The quarter also reflected Alphabet's aggressive AI buildout posture, with capital expenditures reaching $44.92 billion and the company raising roughly $70 billion in combined equity and debt financing to fund that expansion.
