Google parent company Alphabet released quarterly numbers on Tuesday. (archive image)

Analysts on average were expecting more than $65.8 billion. The stock temporarily fell around 4 percent in after-hours trading.

Advertising around the Google search engine is still the group’s most important source of money. Sales here increased from $42.6 billion to $48 billion in the last quarter. The video subsidiary grew its advertising revenue from almost $8 to $9.2 billion.

The development of Google’s advertising business is being watched very closely. The key question is whether rivals’ attempts to use AI to display direct answers instead of links will leave a mark on Google.

Cloud business grew from $7.3 billion to $9.2 billion. The division, which reported an operating loss of $186 million in the same quarter last year, was currently at a loss of $864 million.

All companies’ sales rose from $226 million to $657 million on future projects such as driverless cars or delivery drones, called “other bets.” The division’s operating loss narrowed significantly: from $1.24 billion a year ago to $863 million now. (SDA)
