Google's Parent Company, Alphabet, Surpasses $400 Billion in Annual Revenue
Alphabet, Google's parent company, announced it surpassed $400 billion in annual revenue for the first time, according to its Q4 2025 earnings report released Wednesday. The report highlighted a 15% year-over-year increase, driven by growth in its cloud business and YouTube, according to The Verge. YouTube's annual revenue ballooned past $60 billion in ads and subscriptions.
During Alphabet's fourth-quarter earnings call on Wednesday, the company declined to answer an investor's question about Google's AI deal with Apple, TechCrunch reported. The analyst's question specifically inquired about how Alphabet was thinking about AI partnerships, such as the one with Apple to power AI for Siri. According to TechCrunch, the decision to ignore the question suggests that Alphabet isn't ready to discuss how the partnership will impact its core business, which is increasingly focused on AI. Filings from the Department of Justice's lawsuit against Google revealed that the search giant pays Apple $20 billion to be the default search engine on Apple devices.
