On April 24, 2025, Alphabet Inc. announced strong financial results for Q1 2025, with consolidated revenue reaching $90.23 billion, marking a 12% year-on-year increase. The company's GAAP profit of $2.81 per share was 40.1% above analysts' consensus estimates, signaling a robust start to the year.
The strong performance was driven by growth in its Services and Cloud segments, exceeding Wall Street's expectations. This indicates that Google's core advertising engine and its cloud computing division continue to perform well despite a turbulent economic environment.
However, Google executives noted that the Trump administration’s plan to close the 'de minimis' exemption on tariffs, which previously waived duties on shipments valued under $800, is expected to pose a 'slight headwind' for its $31 billion ad business in 2025, particularly from Asia-Pacific retailers. Investors are also looking for clarity on Q2 expectations amid global turbulence.
