Google Second Quarter Earnings Estimate: $7.72 Billion
The Mountain View, Calif.-based search and cloud giant is set to unveil its financial earnings results for the second quarter of 2023 on July 25 after the market closes. Google’s second quarter ended on June 30, 2023.
Zacks Investment Research projects that Google Cloud will report total revenue of $7.72 billion for Q2 2023, which would represent a 23 percent sales growth rate year over year. If Zacks’ estimate comes to fruition, it would mark one of the company’s lowest year-on-year sales growth rates in some time.
In first quarter 2023, Google Cloud generated total sales of $7.45 billion, up from $5.82 billion in first quarter 2022. The cloud company turned a profit for the first time in its history during Q1 2023. Google Cloud’s main growth drivers include its flagship cloud solutions Google Cloud Platform, known as GCP, and Google Workspace, which includes collaboration tools like Gmail and Chat. The cloud company also invested heavily in AI and generative AI during the second quarter of 2023.
