Google’s parent company, Alphabet Inc., kicked off 2025 with impressive earnings, reporting a 12 percent increase in revenue during the first quarter.
Total revenue climbed to $90.2 billion, fueled by strong performance across its key businesses, including Google Search, YouTube, subscriptions, and cloud services.
The tech giant also posted a sharp 46 percent rise in net income, reaching $23.66 billion, while earnings per share went up by 49 percent to $2.81. Operating income grew by 20 percent, and the operating margin improved to 34 percent.
The company pointed to double-digit growth in nearly every part of its business. Google Services, which includes its popular search engine, YouTube advertising, and subscriptions, brought in $77.3 billion—up 10 percent from the same time last year. YouTube and the company’s devices and paid platforms also helped lift overall revenue.
Google Cloud stood out as one of the fastest-growing areas, with a 28 percent increase in revenue, hitting $12.3 billion. The demand for AI-powered solutions and cloud infrastructure remained high, with businesses turning to Google’s cloud products and generative AI tools.
Alphabet’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, described the quarter as a strong start to the year. He credited much of the momentum to the company’s deep investment in artificial intelligence, especially with the release of Gemini 2.5, a powerful AI model that has already begun shaping new innovations across Google’s services.
Google Search continued its growth, helped by AI Overviews—an advanced feature that now serves 1.5 billion users monthly. Meanwhile, the company’s subscriber base also hit a new milestone, with more than 270 million paid users across YouTube and Google One.
With AI playing a larger role in everyday products and cloud services in high demand, Alphabet’s performance signals steady confidence in the company’s long-term direction. As global interest in generative AI continues to grow, Google is positioning itself as a key player in the future of tech.
