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.
