Alphabet's AI Engine Powers Stock Surge as Cloud Backlog Explodes

Alphabet's stock has more than doubled as its AI-driven cloud growth becomes the main revenue engine: Google Cloud revenue rose 63% in Q1 2026 to over $20B, and the backlog swelled to $462B, signaling strong demand even as management cautions the company is currently compute-constrained. The firm plans about $180-190B in capital expenditures in 2026, with 2027 capex expected to rise, implying a costly race to meet AI-driven demand.

Apple's Siri AI to Run on Nvidia Chips via Google Cloud, Signaling Cloud-Heavy Upgrade

Apple is reportedly redesigning Siri to tap Nvidia's Blackwell B200 chips hosted on Google Cloud, blending on-device processing for simple requests with cloud compute for heavier AI tasks, while still using its Private Cloud Compute for sensitive workloads. The move, tied to broader AI infrastructure collaboration, could scale Siri's capabilities ahead of WWDC with Nvidia and Google Cloud providing the heavy lifting, though Apple has not confirmed specifics.

Alphabet plans $80 billion equity raise to bankroll AI infrastructure buildout

Alphabet plans to raise up to $80 billion in equity to fund its AI infrastructure investments, including a $10 billion private placement to Berkshire Hathaway—its first stock sale in more than two decades. The move accompanies an expected up to $190 billion in capital expenditure this year, funded in part by debt, as Alphabet seeks to diversify funding sources. Berkshire would own about $32 billion of Alphabet, elevating its stake among Berkshire’s top holdings. Proceeds will also cover changes to taxes on vesting employee stock grants, with about $30 billion from common/convertible shares and up to $40 billion from open-market sales expected starting in Q3. Goldman Sachs acted as placement agent for Berkshire and joint bookrunner on the equity raise with JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley. Google Cloud posted a 63% YoY revenue rise to $20 billion in Q1, highlighting AI-driven growth.

Alphabet’s Q1 Surge: Cloud and AI Driving Record Growth

Alphabet blew past estimates in Q1 2026 with revenue of $110 billion, up 22% year over year, led by Google Cloud’s 63% jump to $20 billion and surging demand for AI. Operating margin rose to 36.1%, net income to $62.6 billion, and EPS to $5.11 (up 82%). Google Cloud backlog swelled to $462 billion, with management raising 2026 capex to $180–$190 billion to fund growth, and demand for Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) was described as unprecedented as new hardware deals broaden revenue. Alphabet also raised its quarterly dividend by 5% to $0.22 per share. At about 28x next year’s earnings, the stock remains reasonably priced given cloud and AI momentum.
