Alphabet’s Q2 earnings preview: Revenue set to surge nearly 14% driven by AI and ad market revival

by July 22, 2024
written by July 22, 2024

As we move into the second half of 2024, all eyes are on Google-parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) as it prepares to announce its second-quarter earnings. Expected to show a nearly 14% increase in revenue, this will be Alphabet’s fourth straight quarter of double-digit growth.

This impressive performance is largely driven by steady demand for its AI-powered cloud computing services and a notable resurgence in the advertising market.

AI advancements and new product launches

In May, Google made significant strides in its AI offerings, introducing AI-powered summaries in Search and enhancing its Gemini AI model to better compete with OpenAI and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). 

Google is also set to launch new Pixel devices with advanced AI capabilities next month, a strategic move that advances its unveiling event typically set for the autumn. 

This comes on the heels of Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) announcement in June, highlighting new AI features and an integration with ChatGPT in its latest iPhones.

Alphabet’s efforts to stay at the forefront of the evolving AI landscape are critical. Investors are keenly observing for continued success in Search and clear indications that AI is propelling growth in Google Cloud, without losing market share to AI chat applications.

Financial performance and operating expenses

Alphabet’s second-quarter operating expenses are expected to rise by over 32% to $27.57 billion, marking the highest increase in more than two years, according to LSEG data. 

This significant spike in costs will be under the microscope, especially considering the company’s substantial investments in AI. 

Despite these rising expenses, CEO Sundar Pichai has reassured investors that AI integrations are significantly boosting demand for both cloud and search services.

Additionally, Alphabet’s capital expenditure saw a massive 91% increase to $12 billion in the January-March period, raising some investor concerns. 

The company’s potential acquisition of cybersecurity startup Wiz for approximately $23 billion has also drawn attention, and stakeholders will be eager to understand how this move might impact Alphabet’s financial health and strategic growth.

Market conditions and outlook

Alphabet’s core businesses are poised for robust growth, bolstered by an improving macroeconomic environment that encourages investment in cloud computing and advertising. 

The company’s ability to maintain its competitive edge in AI and effectively integrate these technologies into its products and services will be a critical focal point for stakeholders.

Overall, Alphabet’s Q2 performance is expected to highlight the ongoing strength of its AI and cloud computing services, as well as the resilience of the advertising market. 

However, the rising costs associated with these advancements and potential acquisitions will be key factors for investors to consider as they evaluate the company’s future prospects.

As Alphabet prepares to release its second-quarter earnings report, it will provide a crucial glimpse into the company’s strategic direction, the effectiveness of its AI initiatives, and its overall market performance amidst a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
