With combined revenue of $220.36 billion in the second quarter of 2025, TechBehemoths, Google’s Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta demonstrated the tenacity of big tech companies and rekindled investor faith in digital advertising, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence.
Google’s Alphabet reports $96.4 billion in revenue
Strong results in Search, YouTube ads, subscriptions, and cloud services propelled Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company, to the top of the pack with $96.4 billion, a 14 percent year-over-year increase.
Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO, called the quarter “a standout quarter,” pointing out that artificial intelligence is already revolutionising the business.
He said, “We are leading at the frontier of AI and shipping at an incredible pace.”
“AI positively impacts every part of the business, driving strong momentum. Search delivered double-digit revenue growth, and our new features, like AI Overviews and AI Mode, are performing well,” he added.
He went on to say that Google Cloud saw notable increases in revenue, backlog, and profitability, and that it currently generates over $50 billion in revenue annually.
“With this strong and growing demand for our cloud products and services, we are increasing our investment in capital expenditures in 2025 to approximately $85bn,” Pichai noted.
Meta reports $47.52 billion in revenue
With $47.52 billion in Q2 revenue, up 22 per cent year-over-year, Meta Platforms Inc., the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, maintained the same growth rate on both a reported and constant currency basis.
Mark Zuckerberg, the company’s founder and CEO, claimed that innovation and AI goals drive Meta’s growth.
“We’ve had a strong quarter both in terms of our business and community. I’m excited to build personal superintelligence for everyone,” he said.
According to Meta’s outlook, Q3 2025 revenue would range from $47.5 billion to $50.5 billion, accounting for a one per cent currency tailwind. However, it warned that following a better performance period in Q4 2024, growth in the fourth quarter might be slow.
Microsoft reports revenue of $76.44 billion
Additionally, Microsoft reported better-than-expected earnings for the quarter that ended in June 2025, with revenue reaching $76.44 billion, up 18.1 per cent year over year.
The findings highlight Big Tech’s increasing power, which is supported by its investments in cloud computing and artificial intelligence—two areas that are progressively influencing the direction of consumer and business services globally.
