Did GOOG Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results

Alphabet closed Q3 2025 with a landmark quarter, becoming the first company in its history to cross $100 billion in quarterly revenue as it reported $102.35 billion in sales — up 15.9% year over year and ahead of the $100.14 billion consensus — while earnings per share of $2.87 cleared the $2.27 analyst estimate by 26.70%, a result that had <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2025/10/29/live-alphabet-googl-up-2-before-earnings-will-shares-soar-after-hours/">investors watching closely</a> heading into the print. The primary engine behind the headline beat was Google Cloud, which accelerated to 34% revenue growth, reaching $15.16 billion for the quarter and nearly doubling its operating income to $3.59 billion, while YouTube ads crossed $10 billion in a single quarter for the first time. Net income surged 33% to $34.98 billion, aided by $10.73 billion in equity securities gains. Looking ahead, Alphabet raised its full-year capital expenditure guidance to a range of $91 billion to $93 billion, signaling deepening commitment to AI infrastructure as Google Cloud closed the quarter with $155 billion in backlog.
