Golden Finance reports that on April 30, as four of the “Seven Giants of U.S. Stocks” released their earnings after the market close, it seemed only Alphabet(GOOGL.O)’s performance was strong enough to satisfy investors. Alphabet’s first-quarter revenue grew 22%, coming in at nearly $110 billion and beating analysts’ expectations. Net profit was $62.6 billion, up 81% year over year. In addition, the company’s fiscal year 2025 sales reached a record $403 billion, with profits reaching about $132 billion. After results beat expectations, Alphabet’s share price rose 3.9%, and its CEO, Sundar Pichai, unsurprisingly attributed most of the company’s growth to AI investments supporting it. Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft also reported strong growth, but their share prices fell, with Meta down by more than 5%. Meta’s revenue guidance met expectations, and it also raised its capital expenditure plan for this year, reflecting rising component prices and, to a lesser extent, additional data center costs.
