Snippet:
Alphabet shares fell Wednesday evening after the Google parent reported good, but not great second-quarter results. While artificial intelligence adoption is boosting top-line growth, it's also driving higher levels of capital spending. And that doesn't seem to be changing any time soon. Revenue in the second quarter increased 24% year over year to $119.8 billion, well ahead of the $116.9 billion expected, according to LSEG data.
