Alphabet Reports Cloud Revenue Growth of 82% to $24.8B With $514B Backlog
Question
Alphabet Reports Cloud Revenue Growth of 82% to $24.8B With $514B Backlog
Direct answer
Google Cloud delivered $24.8 billion in quarterly revenue, reflecting an 82% year-over-year growth rate that significantly exceeded Alphabet's legacy Search growth of 17%. The acceleration indicates growing enterprise adoption of Google's proprietary AI models and infrastructure platforms. The expansion is supported by a contracted revenue backlog of $514 billion and consumer scaling on the Gemini app, which reached 950 million monthly active users. This order visibility underpins ongoing multi-billion-dollar infrastructure capex allocations across compute clusters. — bullish pressure on GOOGL.
