The first YouTube video was uploaded on 23 April 2005 20 years ago. The following year, Google YouTube at that time acquired $ 1.65 billion in exchange for a stock package. Today youtube store 20 billion videos, 20 million new videos are uploaded every day. This was said by Sundar Pichai, CEO of Akshar on Thursday as part of the latest quarterly figures declaration. Investment has paid for Google Group: In addition to the search engine called Google, the video platform is the strongest driver of the continuous growing group.
While the search engine lives on advertising and membership, YouTube is on both legs: if you cannot tolerate the growing demand for advertising, but do not want to do without video, a membership will have to be paid. It promises to play “most” videos without advertising.
In the first three months of 2025, Google applied $ 77.3 billion, growing $ 6.9 billion or $ 19. The sales of $ 8.9 billion have recorded advertising relief on YouTube alone, ten percent or $ 800 million more than the first quarter of 2024. YouTube and google ensure a particular membership growth.
The advertisement that mediates for Google websites and apps is the only shrinking division: a quarterly turnover of $ 7.3 billion means two percent deficiency. Google is original and the search engine remains: It exceeds the sales limit of $ 50 billion in the quarter and grows by $ 50.7 billion, $ 10 or $ 4.5 billion. In particular, insurance and retail have recently switched more advertising. In $ 50.7 billion, other income from Google is also included.
Operative Cash Flow +25%
In addition to Google (including YouTube), the total group alphabet includes separate Google Clouds ($ 12.3 billion from+28% turnover) and other bets. The latter are risky ventures that do not yet do a well -known sales and often disappear in drowning. Their sales have declined by nine percent. This includes Wemo, whose self -drawing cars, according to Pichai, now travel 250,000 paid passengers per week in Arizona, California and Texas. This year Atlanta is also to be added to the US state of Georgia, Miami and Washington, DC next year.
Overall, the alphabet imposed $ 90.2 billion in the first quarter of 2025, which increased by twelve percent. Of these, $ 30.6 billion remained as an operational benefit (+20%). The operational cash flow has also increased to $ 36.2 billion in a quarter.
Uncontrolled growth: rebellion with increase in sales and record benefitsIt is striking that Google Cloud has its own operational profit of $ 900 million to $ 2.2 billion double. Google’s operational profit increased by 17 percent to $ 32.7 billion. However, 20 percent of the operational deficit of other bets is $ 1.2 billion. Vamos Autonomous Motor Droscates have not been clearly profitable yet.
Share stakes go up
The letters are better than the actual business. Investment in shares of other companies. If the letters were stable in one billion dollars in the quarter, and the bonds in investing in the bonds ($ 462 million after $ 462 million), shares have almost exploded: $ 9.8 billion. This is more than four times the value of the previous year’s quarter and even 31 percent more than the price for the year 2024. However, the alphabet does not reveal the ratio of profits of securities and which was present on paper only on the date of 31 March.
Overall, the data group increased its other quarterly profits to about $ 11.2 billion. With operating profits, it is an input tax of $ 41.8 billion (+48%). The alphabet has increased its tax provisions by 56 percent to $ 7.2 billion. Summa Samaram $ 34.5 billion remains 46 percent more net profit.
“We are pleased with our strong results in this quarter”, Pichai tells financial analystsNevertheless, the management increases the dividend only five percent or an American center per share to 21 cents. For this, a new share of $ 70 billion comes. Institutional investors like it, Google shares are in posts Announcement of quarterly data About five percent.
