Google records the largest single-day decline in its history, wiping out 500000000000 USD
PANews October 29 According to a report by Zhitong Finance, Google's parent company Alphabet records the largest single-day decline in its history, with the decline widening to 13%, reducing its market capitalization by more than 500000000000 USD. The company's third-quarter revenue 127580000000 USD, up year on year by 25%, below the market expectation of 127910000000 USD; adjusted earnings per share 2.67 USD, below the expected 2.97 USD。Google Cloud revenue grew year on year by 103%to 30710000000 USD, but the core advertising business underperformed expectations, and free cash flow recorded a net outflow of 9070000000 USD。The market is concerned that as AI investment continues to rise, slowing search advertising growth could further increase pressure on earnings and cash flow.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
A decline in the share price reduces the company's total value calculated at the market price. The materials show that Alphabet revenue and adjusted earnings per share were below expectations, while the advertising business and free cash flow also came under pressure; Google Cloud maintained growth, but did not offset the market concerns caused by these factors.
Why it matters to readers
This was Alphabet the largest one-day decline in history, involving multiple indicators including revenue, profit expectations, the advertising business, and free cash flow. The market is also watching whether AI increased investment and slower growth in search advertising will further affect profitability and cash flow.
When reviewing a company's financial results, do not look only at whether revenue is growing; also compare market expectations, earnings per share, business segment performance, and free cash flow.

The report does not specify the reasons for the free cash flow outflow or the specific amount AI invested.
