Alphabet Q3 2026 earnings: revenue growth slows, AI capex drives cash flow negative

Alphabet reported Q3 2026 revenue of $127.58bn (+25% YoY), missing estimates, with search ad growth slowing to 12%. AI-driven capex of $514bn pushed free cash flow to -$9bn, a sharp drop from +$240bn last year. Google Cloud revenue doubled to over $30bn, driven by TPU demand, while Gemini 4 Carbon launched topping AI benchmarks.

Why it matters. The market is watching whether Alphabet's massive AI infrastructure spending will eventually translate into commercial returns, as search growth slows and cloud gains are offset by negative cash flow and heavy debt issuance.
