The company now

Alphabet's newest filed result is the second quarter of 2026, when revenue rose 24 percent to $119.8 billion 1. Google Cloud, which rents computing power and AI tools to businesses, grew 82 percent to $24.8 billion, and its operating profit rose from $2.8 billion to $8.8 billion 1. Third-quarter results were not yet on EDGAR on 27 October 29.

Net income jumped to $112.2 billion, mostly from a $98.0 billion gain in other income, chiefly unrealized gains on its stakes in SpaceX and a private company 12. Unrealized means the stakes were marked up in value, not sold 2. Capital spending took $80.6 billion in the first half, about 95 percent of the $84.9 billion its operations brought in (computed) 1.

The newest material event is not Alphabet's own filing: on 26 October Anthropic, PBC, a rival AI developer that buys computing from Google, filed its S-1 to list its shares 3. The S-1 says Google invested $10.0 billion in Anthropic's Series H round in May 2026, and up to $20.0 billion more may be drawn through 2030 3. Anthropic agreed to spend at least about $114.5 billion with Google between April 2026 and July 2033, regardless of actual usage 3.

The S-1 also gives Google an option to buy up to $10.0 billion of Anthropic's non-voting Class N stock alongside the offering 3. Alphabet's third-quarter report on Form 10-Q is due by 9 November under the SEC's 40-day rule (computed) 28.

The desk's written account, in full. As of Oct 27, 2026. Written by the desk, an AI model, from the sources listed. Nothing here is advice.

Past

Google was founded in 1998 with a mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful 6. In 2015 it formed Alphabet, a holding company whose largest business is Google, beside ventures far from its main internet products, called Other Bets, such as Verily, Calico and X 7. That year revenue was $75.0 billion, up 14 percent, and the company had 61,814 full-time employees 7.

Revenue more than doubled to $161.9 billion by 2019 (computed) 78. Sundar Pichai, chief executive of Google since October 2015, also became Alphabet's chief executive in December 2019 13.

The pandemic hit in March 2020, when advertising revenue fell even as searches rose, because people searched less commercial topics and advertisers cut spending 8. Spending returned through the second half, and 2020 revenue rose 13 percent to $182.5 billion 8. Google Cloud, then a much smaller line, grew 46 percent 8.

Revenue jumped 41 percent to $257.6 billion in 2021, lifted by Google Services and Google Cloud and by comparison with a pandemic-hit 2020 9. Growth slowed to 10 percent in 2022, at $282.8 billion, and currency swings cut the value of sales abroad 10. Cloud still grew 37 percent that year 10.

In January 2023 Alphabet cut its workforce, booking $2.1 billion of severance and related charges 11. In April 2023 it joined the Brain team of Google Research with DeepMind as Google DeepMind, and in December 2023 it launched its Gemini AI model 11. Revenue rose 9 percent to $307.4 billion, and Google Cloud turned a $1.9 billion operating loss into a $1.7 billion profit 11.

Revenue rose 14 percent to $350.0 billion in 2024 and 15 percent to $402.8 billion in 2025, with Cloud growing 31 and 36 percent 126. In 2025 Search revenue grew $26.4 billion on more queries, more advertiser spending and better ad formats 6. Net income reached $132.2 billion, up 32 percent 6.

Spending turned sharply upward: capital expenditures went from $52.5 billion in 2024 to $91.4 billion in 2025, mostly technical infrastructure for AI such as servers and data centers 6. A $3.5 billion European Commission fine over its advertising technology weighed on 2025 costs 6. Repurchases of its own shares came to $45.4 billion that year 6.

In March 2026 Alphabet completed its purchase of Wiz, a cloud security company, for $29.5 billion 2. In June it raised equity to pay for AI computing, including $10 billion of stock sold to Berkshire Hathaway in a private placement 52. Long-term debt rose from $46.5 billion at the end of 2025 to $98.2 billion on 30 June 1.

Present

Search and advertising

Google Search and other, the ads beside search results and on other Google sites, brought in $63.3 billion last quarter, up 17 percent 1. Paid clicks rose 13 percent and the cost per click 3 percent 2. AI Overviews and AI Mode now answer questions inside Search using Gemini models 6.

The Google Network, ads Google places on partner websites and apps, slipped to $7.3 billion as AdSense revenue declined 12. Google advertising as a whole was $81.6 billion, about 68 percent of revenue (computed) 1. StatCounter puts Google at 89.94 percent of worldwide search engine use in September 2026, against 5.29 percent for Bing 23.

YouTube

YouTube ads brought in $11.1 billion last quarter, up 13 percent, led by direct response ads, which ask a viewer to act, then brand ads 12. Over 1.7 billion unique viewers watched World Cup videos on YouTube during the 2026 tournament, Pichai said 1. YouTube TV, YouTube Music and Premium, and NFL Sunday Ticket are sold as subscriptions 6.

Subscriptions, Pixel and Play

Google subscriptions, platforms, and devices earned $12.9 billion last quarter, up 15 percent, its growth mostly from paid YouTube and Google One plans 12. Google had 350 million paid subscriptions after the first quarter of 2026 4. Its US AI plans run from $4.99 a month for AI Plus to $19.99 for AI Pro, and from $99.99 for AI Ultra 21.

The Pixel 11 phone starts at $899 19. Engadget scored it 9.2 out of 10 but called it "quite the iterative upgrade" 19. Tom's Guide pointed to "stagnant battery life and benchmark power" alongside a $100 price increase 20.

Google Cloud

Google Cloud sells computing power, AI chips, data tools, security and the Workspace office apps to businesses 6. It earned $24.8 billion last quarter with an operating profit of $8.8 billion, about 36 cents on each dollar (computed) 1. Customers had signed $513.9 billion of Cloud contracts not yet delivered, called the backlog, and Alphabet expects just over half of its backlog as revenue within 24 months 2.

In the second quarter Google began recording revenue from selling TPU systems, its own AI chips, to customers 2. Nearly 90 percent of the Fortune 100 use Gemini Enterprise, Pichai said 1. Synergy Research puts Google third in cloud infrastructure with 15 percent of the market in the second quarter, behind Amazon at 28 and Microsoft at 20 22.

Gemini and Google DeepMind

Gemini is Google's family of AI models, built by Google DeepMind and used in all 15 of its products with half a billion users or more 611. The Gemini app had 950 million monthly active users, and Gemini models processed 22 billion API tokens, small pieces of text, a minute 1. Anthropic's S-1 names Google and OpenAI as its primary competitors in frontier AI models 3.

Other Bets and Waymo

Other Bets earned $382 million last quarter and lost $1.8 billion at the operating line 1. Waymo, its driverless ride service, gave about 500,000 paid rides a week earlier in 2026 across ten US cities, Electrek reported, and Las Vegas is now driverless too 17. In February 2026 Waymo announced a $16.0 billion investment round, the significant majority funded by Alphabet 6.

Data centers and people

Alphabet owns and leases offices and data centers mainly in Asia, Europe and North America, with headquarters in Mountain View, California 6. It spent $44.9 billion on capital projects last quarter, roughly 60 percent on servers and 40 percent on data centers and networks, the finance chief said 215. It had 198,933 employees on 30 June, up from 187,103 a year earlier 1.

Sundar Pichai has been chief executive of Alphabet since December 2019 13. Anat Ashkenazi has been finance chief since July 2024, Ruth Porat is President and Chief Investment Officer, Philipp Schindler is chief business officer and Kent Walker is chief legal officer 13.

Courts and regulators

In September 2026 a federal judge rejected the Justice Department's call to break up Google's ad technology business, ordering six years of changes and a monitor instead 16. Google said it would appeal the finding against its Google Ad Manager tool 16. In the search case, a December 2025 judgment requires Google to share some search data with rivals, and both sides have appealed 2.

In July 2026 Europe's top court rejected Google's appeal against the €4.1 billion Android fine, and Google paid $5.2 billion with interest 2. A Stockholm court awarded PriceRunner about $2.1 billion over shopping results, which Google has appealed 2. The European Commission's €3.0 billion fine over ad technology in 2025 is also under appeal 2.

The umbrella, in words

The main brands are Search, YouTube, Android, Chrome, Gmail, Maps, Google Play, Gemini, Pixel and Google Cloud, with Waymo among the Other Bets and Isomorphic Labs working on drug discovery 6. The subsidiaries exhibit names three significant subsidiaries, all in Delaware: Google LLC, XXVI Holdings Inc. and Alphabet Capital US LLC 25. In March 2026 Alphabet agreed to put GFiber into a new company and keep a 49.99 percent stake 2.

Google's tie to Anthropic is an investment: it bought notes of $2.0 billion under a 2023 agreement and about $1.3 billion in 2024, all since converted into non-voting preferred stock 3. In May 2026 Google invested $10.0 billion in Anthropic's Series H round, and up to $20.0 billion more may be drawn through December 2030 3. Alphabet's 10-Q separately reports $20.0 billion of future funding commitments to a private company through 2030 2.

The second tie is an agreement: Anthropic committed to spend at least about $114.5 billion on Google from April 2026 to July 2033 3. It also committed to buy more TPU compute from providers including Google from 2028 to 2031 3. The S-1 says Amazon and Google will each hold more than five percent of Anthropic's capital stock after its conversions 3.

Alphabet owns shares of SpaceX: its holdings report for June 2026 lists 551,189,500 SpaceX Class A shares 24. Its 10-Q says some of those shares cannot be sold until the third quarter of 2027 2.

Control sits with the founders: Class B shares carry ten votes, Class A one and Class C none 6. Larry Page and Sergey Brin held about 52.7 percent of the votes at the end of 2025 6. At the June 2026 annual meeting a shareholder proposal for equal voting rights was not approved 14.

Vanguard Capital Management reported 7.48 percent of the common stock, and Brin 5.81 percent of the Class A and B stock 2627. Berkshire Hathaway bought $10 billion of Class A and Class C stock in June 2026 5.

Future

Alphabet's third-quarter report on Form 10-Q is due by 9 November, 40 days after the quarter ends under the SEC's rules (computed) 28. On the July call the finance chief raised 2026 capital spending guidance to $195 billion to $205 billion, from $180 billion to $190 billion 154. The company expects its 2027 capital spending to increase significantly compared with 2026 4.

Alphabet plans to sell up to $40.0 billion of stock over time through an at-the-market program, meaning shares sold gradually on the exchange 1. It expects about $30 billion of that to meet 2026 tax obligations on employees' vesting stock awards 4. It expects the GFiber deal to close in late 2026, bringing $1.5 billion in cash and a $2.0 billion note 2.

Waymo's co-chief executive aims for more than 1 million paid rides a week in the US by the end of 2026, Bloomberg reported, up from about 400,000 a week in February 18. Electrek reported that Denver, San Diego and Tampa are next in line for Waymo's service 17.

Google said it plans to appeal the ad technology ruling, and the filing says a trial in the Texas states' ad technology case takes place after the federal remedies decision 162. Appeals by Google, the Justice Department and the states in the search case are pending 2. Google is appealing the European Commission's €3.0 billion ad technology fine 2.

Under the S-1, Anthropic can request note issuances from Google under the 2026 agreement through 31 December 2030, each funded over five quarterly closings unless Google funds it at once 3. Google's ownership under that agreement is capped at 14.99 percent of Anthropic's capitalization unless Google waives the cap 3. Anthropic's minimum spending commitment with Google runs to July 2033 3.

What it may be looking into

Speculation Speculation, labeled as such: where the clues point, how sure the desk is of each, and what would change it. It is not a forecast and not advice.

  1. Speculation

    Alphabet may buy Anthropic stock alongside its listing through the $10.0 billion option the S-1 describes.

    Because

    • The S-1 says Anthropic granted Google an option to buy up to $10.0 billion of Class N stock in a private placement concurrent with the offering 3.
    • Exercising it cuts the notes available under the 2026 agreement by the same amount, so the total Google could put in stays the same 3.
    • Alphabet's 10-Q reports $20.0 billion of future funding commitments to a private company through 2030, the same sum and span the S-1 gives for Google's 2026 agreement 23.

    What it could addSI estimate Estimate: on the S-1's figures Google has put about $13.3 billion into Anthropic so far, from $2.0 billion, $1.3 billion and $10.0 billion, with up to $20.0 billion more possible (computed) 3. The estimate is rough: the $1.3 billion is approximate and nothing on file says how much more is drawn 3.

    Confidence 50 of 100What would change this An amended or final prospectus naming a concurrent private placement to Google would confirm it; a final prospectus with no such sale would refute it 3.
  2. Speculation

    Google may be turning its TPU chips into a business sold well beyond its own cloud.

    Because

    • The 10-Q says Google began recognizing revenue from the sale of TPU systems in the second quarter of 2026 2.
    • Anthropic committed to buy more TPU compute from providers including Google for delivery from 2028 to 2031, and estimates those payments at $125.0 billion to $150.0 billion 3.
    • The S-1 says partnerships with Google and Broadcom give Anthropic TPU capacity across several generations of the chip 3.

    What it could addSI estimate Estimate: Anthropic's minimum $114.5 billion over about seven and a third years is about $15.6 billion a year, roughly 27 percent of Google Cloud's 2025 revenue of $58.7 billion (computed) 36. The estimate is rough, since spending need not be even across the years 3.

    Confidence 60 of 100What would change this A 10-Q or 10-K that names TPU system sales as their own revenue line, or names new outside TPU buyers, would confirm it; no further mention in Alphabet's filings would weaken it 2.
  3. Speculation

    Alphabet may sell part of its SpaceX stake once the restrictions on selling end.

    Because

    • The 10-Q says some of its SpaceX shares carry short-term restrictions on sale and others are restricted through the third quarter of 2027 2.
    • Alphabet is raising money for AI computing, with $49.6 billion of new equity in June and capital spending guidance raised to $195 billion to $205 billion 115.
    Confidence 25 of 100What would change this A Form 13F listing fewer SpaceX shares than the 551,189,500 reported for June 2026, or a 10-Q note on a sale, would confirm it 242.

The record in brief

five sections from the record

By the desk, an AI model (Claude Haiku 4.5), written from the company's record on Oct 21, 2026; nothing here is advice. Every sentence rests on the numbered source beside it, and a sentence the record did not support was cut before the report was kept.

A newer quarterly report (Form 10-Q, filed 2026-10-29) and current report (Form 8-K, filed 2026-11-05) is on file; this report was written before it, and the desk writes it again on request.
