Cloud and AI businesses shine) The super earnings week for tech giants continues to inject a shot in the arm for Wall Street, and this time the spotlight is on search and AI giant Google. During intraday trading on April 30th, US time, shares of Google's parent company Alphabet (ticker: GOOGL / GOOG) achieved a historic breakthrough, fully demonstrating its powerful monetization capabilities in AI infrastructure and applications. Surging 7% to hit a record high, market cap exceeds $4.5 trillion According to the latest real-time market quotes, Alphabet's stock saw a violent rally during today's session: - Class A shares (GOOGL): Surged over 7% intraday, hitting a high of $378.22. This figure far exceeds the previous all-time high of $350.34 set just a few days ago (April 27th). - Class C shares (GOOG): Also saw a strong gain of over 7%, with the intraday high approaching $375, setting a record simultaneously. This unstoppable rally pushed Alphabet's total market cap to an astonishing scale of over $4.5 trillion, forcing major Wall Street investment bank analysts to urgently raise their price targets following the earnings report. EPS doubles, crushing expectations; Google Cloud surges 63% The ultimate fuel igniting this stock price explosion was the Q1 2026 earnings report released by Alphabet after the market closed on the 29th. The data in this report can be described as "completely crushing expectations": - Total Revenue: Reached $109.9 billion, a significant increase of 22% year-over-year, easily beating Wall Street estimates. - Earnings Per Share (EPS): Delivered an astonishing $5.11, significantly higher than the market's original estimate of approximately $2.6, nearly doubling the level. Among them, what excited investors most was undoubtedly the explosion of the Google Cloud segment. The report shows that Google Cloud's revenue for the quarter strongly broke through the $20 billion mark, reaching $20.03 billion, an astonishing year-over-year growth of 63%. This strongly indicates that Google's massive investments in the Gemini model and AI infrastructure are now rapidly converting into substantial enterprise-level solution orders and cash flow, successfully eliminating the market's deep-seated concerns about "AI burning money without returns."
