  • Alphabet's Cloud Gains, CapEx Weigh on Mag 7 Earnings Outlook
    July 24, 2026, 8:51 PM EDT. Alphabet's Q2 earnings set a higher standard for Microsoft, Meta, Apple, and Amazon, powered by an 82% jump in Google Cloud revenue and robust AI-driven income. A spike in capex led to negative free cash flow, prompting a dip in shares. Net income reached $112.1B, lifted by a $77.4B unrealized SpaceX holding gain. Collectively, the Mag 7's Q2 profits are forecast to climb 83.1% year-on-year on 26% higher revenue, reflecting strength that is projected to make up over 27% of S&P 500 earnings in 2024.
