Alphabet Inc. stock (US02079K1079) closed at USD 335.45 on September 11, 2026, up 1.53 percent on the day. The latest quarter brought revenue of USD 119.80 billion and diluted EPS of USD 9.11, both above estimates, while the scheduled quarterly dividend payment landed on September 14, 2026.
Q2 numbers stay central
According to MarketBeat, Alphabet reported USD 9.11 in earnings per share on July 22, 2026, beating the consensus estimate of USD 2.89 by USD 6.22. The same report said revenue reached USD 119.80 billion versus USD 117.07 billion expected, and net margin was 54.77 percent.
That gap matters because the quarter also showed how fast Google Cloud is expanding. According to ts2.tech, Google Cloud revenue rose 82 percent year over year to USD 24.77 billion in Q2 2026, while operating income increased to USD 8.81 billion.
Dividend day adds a cue

For investors, the combination of USD 119.80 billion in quarterly revenue and USD 24.77 billion in cloud sales keeps the focus on execution, not just scale.
