Alphabet Inc. Prepares to Report Second-Quarter Earnings July 22

Alphabet Inc. is scheduled to announce its second-quarter financial results after the market closes on Wednesday, July 22, 2026. Wall Street consensus estimates project revenue to increase 21% to $116.8 billion, with earnings expected to rise 25% to $2.89 per diluted share.

Alphabet Inc. enters this reporting period following a quarter of 22% revenue growth, totaling over $109 billion. The company has seen double-digit growth in Google Services and Google Cloud, with the latter's backlog nearly doubling to exceed $460 billion due to demand for AI products. The company's current growth strategy focuses on Waymo and the integration of tensor processing units and Gemini models into its cloud business. Recently, the company partnered with Blackstone to establish a new AI cloud company powered by TPUs.

Despite these gains, the company's stock has faced pressure as investors weigh the high cost of AI infrastructure against revenue returns. Market participants are specifically monitoring capital expenditure projections for 2026, which management previously estimated between $180 billion and $190 billion.
