Alphabet shares decreased sharply after slowing the growth in Google Parent clouds and plans to spend $ 75 billion this year on energy building for investor intelligence products.

Late on Tuesday, alphabet The reported neck rises in revenues and profits in the fourth quarter, driven by its basic advertising actions. But investors are prevented in a quarter disappointing for the vast cloud unit, which runs Google Data Centers.

the Department of the cloud A 30 percent increase in revenue recorded approximately $ 12 billion, but this was slower than the 35 percent growth rate in the previous three months, and less than $ 12.2 billion, analysts expect. Anat Ashkenazi financial manager blamed “the request is more than we had a capacity available.”

However, the Google AI’s spending scale to meet this demand surprised the market. The fourth capital expenditures jumped to 14.3 billion dollars, up from $ 11 billion in the past year and exceeding expectations of $ 13.2 billion.

Google CEO Sondar Pachay said that spending on data and servers will accelerate to 75 billion dollars this year, an increase of $ 53 billion in 2024 and the third more than Wall Street estimated.

In general, the group’s revenues increased by 12 percent to 96.5 billion dollars in the fourth quarter compared to the same period of the three months in the previous year. With the exception of the costs of gaining traffic paid to advertising partners and device partners, this number was 81.6 billion dollars, and the losses of Wall Street of $ 82.8 billion in a Bloomberg poll. The net income rose 28 percent to 26.5 billion dollars.

Google is also at the intersection of organizers all over the world. The company faces the possibility of being Separate After losing in a historical case submitted by the US Department of Justice, which led to a ruling that its research work had participated in monopolistic behavior.

This week, China may have revived the anti -monopoly investigations into the Google mobile operating system from Google, which led to its Bijin’s office raid in a move that was interpreted as a financial crane in customs tariff negotiations with US President Donald Trump.
