Q2 2026 earnings call: Remarks from our CEO
Here's what's trending across India right now:
On today’s Q2 2026 earnings call, Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai recapped an amazing quarter, with our AI investments redefining what’s possible across every part of our business. Below is an edited transcript of his remarks.
Adding to this, We have exciting momentum. Alphabet revenue grew 24% year-over-year. Our AI investments are redefining what’s possible across every part of our business.
Meanwhile, Our momentum starts with Search, where people are adopting one seamless search experience across AI Overviews and AI Mode. We saw 17% revenue growth in Search and Other. And YouTube Ads grew 13%.
Notably, Cloud revenue grew 82% , powered by strong demand for AI infrastructure and AI solutions. And Cloud backlog grew to $514 billion. It’s great to see the wide adoption of Gemini Enterprise, with nearly 90% of the Fortune 100 using it.
As per the latest buzz, Today, I’ll expand on our AI progress, our global product footprint led by Search and YouTube, Google Cloud’s leadership, and our long-term Bets.
In further updates, Yesterday we revealed new models — Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite — which are cost effective and highly efficient. We’re seeing tons of demand for our workhorse Gemini Flash series, because it hits the sweet spot of performance and cost.
On top of that, We also launched Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber , which I’m really excited about. Paired with our CodeMender agent, it finds and fixes vulnerabilities and delivers performance at the frontier, comparable to far bigger cyber models.
Gemini 3.5 Pro is currently in testing. And our team is already building the next generation of models. We have started our most ambitious pre-training run yet, for Gemini 4, and are excited by the progress we are seeing at the frontier.
