Yesterday, two of the biggest tech giants in the AI boom reported their latest earnings. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Google parent company Alphabet Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG) and Facebook owner Meta Platforms, Inc. (Nasdaq: META) posted Q1 2026 results with some striking similarities, including a surge in capital expenditures (capex) and strong revenue growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But this morning, Meta\u2019s stock is plunging, while Google\u2019s is jumping. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s Q1 results give investors confidence in its AI strategy<\/h2>\n

The way investors are reacting so differently to the two AI giants\u2019 earnings results this morning makes the quarterly reports feel like A Tale of Two Cities, sorry, Tech Giants. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For Google, it seems like the best of times, and for Meta, not so much.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Google reported<\/a> that for its most recent quarter, it achieved $109.9 billion in revenue, an increase of 22% and a record for the company. On top of that, the company reported an earnings per share (EPS) of $5.11, an increase of 82%.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s Search revenue also climbed 19%. This is particularly notable because many industry watchers have long debated whether the rise of chatbots will eat into the business models of traditional search engines. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
