Alphabet’s Google, the tech giant’s parent company, has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing $400 billion in annual revenue for the first time. This achievement was highlighted in the Q4 2025 earnings report released by the company, showcasing a notable 15% year-over-year increase. The growth was primarily attributed to the success of Google’s Cloud business and the continued expansion of YouTube.
According to the earnings report, Google’s Cloud business reached a $70 billion run rate in 2025, underscoring its position as a key revenue driver. Simultaneously, YouTube’s annual revenue exceeded $60 billion, encompassing earnings from advertisements and subscriptions. Alphabet’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, emphasized YouTube’s dominance in the streaming space, supported by Nielsen data. Furthermore, the company now boasts over 325 million paid subscribers, with Google One and YouTube Premium leading the subscription services.
Google’s Gemini AI app, which recently hit 750 million users post the launch of Gemini 3 model, has been pivotal in the AI landscape. Noteworthy is Gemini 3’s integration with Apple’s Siri, offering a more personalized experience. Pichai disclosed that Google Search witnessed a surge in usage, with daily AI Mode queries doubling since its introduction. Capitalizing on the popularity of Gemini app and AI Mode, Google plans to introduce an agentic checkout feature across both platforms.
