YouTube is intensifying its push for living-room viewers with exclusive creator shows and a growing subscription business, which Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler said is growing faster than advertising, driven by YouTube Music and Premium. A Nielsen report from September 2026 showed YouTube took a record 14.2% of U.S. TV viewing in July, nearly twice Netflix's 7.8%. Alphabet's second-quarter YouTube advertising revenue rose 13% year over year to $11.06 billion. On Polymarket, traders put a 19% chance on third-quarter YouTube ad revenue exceeding $12 billion, while Alphabet is scheduled to report on Oct. 28, with analysts expecting revenue of $128.18 billion and EPS of $3.02.

- Can Strong Search and Cloud Growth Drive GOOGL's Q3 Earnings?
Alphabet's Q3 2026 results, due October 28, are expected to benefit from momentum in Search and Cloud, according to Zacks. The consensus estimates advertising revenue of $83.523 billion, up 12.6% year over year, Search and other revenue of $65 billion, up 15%, and Google Cloud revenue of $29.16 billion, up 92.3%. Support comes from AI Overviews and AI Mode, which surpassed 1 billion monthly active users in the second quarter, and from AI Max, which has attracted 500,000 advertisers. Alphabet holds 89.94% of the search market per StatCounter, and is the third-largest cloud provider with a 15% share per Synergy Research, behind Amazon's 28% and Microsoft's 20%. The company has beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters, with an average surprise of 86.65%.
- Sundar Pichai Reported Alphabet's Cloud Revenue Grew 82% Last Quarter While the Gemini App Reached 950 Million Monthly Users. Is Google Cloud Becoming a Bigger Growth Driver Than Search?
Google Cloud revenue for the latest quarter rose 82% year over year to $24.8 billion, adding $11.2 billion amid heavy AI infrastructure spending. Google Search grew more slowly, up 17% to $63.3 billion, but its $9.1 billion increase was smaller than Cloud's, so the author argues Cloud now matters more to Alphabet's revenue growth than Search. The author sees chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude, along with Gemini (950 million monthly active users), as a real risk to search volumes and ad revenue, but notes Gemini also underpins Alphabet's services, including AI summaries in Search. Total Alphabet revenue grew 23% year over year last quarter.

Cloud revenue surged 82% year over year to $24.77 billion in the second quarter, with cloud backlog reaching $514 billion, while Search & Other rose 17% to $63.27 billion and YouTube advertising grew 13% to $11.06 billion.
