with those figures, Google must want to spend A LOT on capex to need to goose the value of their shares by declaring their first ever dividend, which will make @charlesfitz.bsky.social happy (the capex, not the dividend) [embedded post]

$GOOG up 12% in after-hours makes sense because both Search and GPC growth accelerated. Also, margins are going higher this year. [video]

Google CFO Ruth Porat says to expect margin expansion despite investing in AI infrastructure and AI talent in 2024. I'm surprised the $GOOG is not moving higher on that comment. Still up 13%.

Google is basically"putting its house in order" with investors ahead of a pricey AI investment cycle: 1. First-ever dividend 2. $70B buyback 3. Shifting LLM costs out of Google Services line item and into “Alphabet-level activities” — easing the burden on core margins

$GOOG now up 13% in afterhours. On top of the good news from GCP, the Search and Other (59% of revenue) segment was up 14.4% YoY, ahead of consensus of 11%, and up from 12.7% in Dec-23. This is critical because it addresses the major investor concern which is navigating the tra…

google also had the benefit of meta going first and taking all the wall street fear of soaring expenses on the chin, then looking smarter to do a few things to ease investor concerns as AI investment goes up (also meta revs not meeting high end of expectations hurt them)

imagine this is why meta stock got hammered yesterday— already issued dividend last quarter and ai investment still bundled into overall capex, (reality labs is another expense but broken out) my guess would be next quarter they do some more separation of line items there

Sundar said to $GOOG's Youtube and Cloud to exit 2024 at a combined revenue of $100B. This implies 25% growth in each of the next three quarters, compared to YouTube up 21% and 28.4% in March. Take away: Maintaining growth rates around 25% despite larger numbers is sign...
