Alphabet shares fell more than 10% after hours, as Google AI search monetization lags traditional search
Alphabet's quarterly revenue was $127.6 billion, up 25% year-over-year, but earnings per share of $2.12 fell short of the expected approximately $3.01, and the stock fell more than 10% after hours. Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler said that AI Mode's monetization capability per query is lower than traditional search, which is one of the reasons why search revenue growth slowed from 17% to 12%. Capital expenditures this quarter reached $51.4 billion, free cash flow was negative $9.1 billion, and Google Cloud revenue rose to $30.71 billion.
