Google’s Q1 ad sales surge 32%, Alphabet profit doubles

Associated Press  

SAN RAMON, Calif. — Google’s digital advertising network has shifted back into high gear, with its corporate parent reporting profit that more than doubled after an unprecedented setback during the early stages of the pandemic. “It’s too early to say how durable this consumer behavior will be as economies recover and restrictions on mobility are lifted,” said Ruth Porat, chief financial officer for Google’s parent, Alphabet Inc. Google’s sales surged 32% from the same time last year to nearly $45 billion during the January-March period. It’s the third consecutive quarter of accelerating ad growth for Google following an 8% decline during last year’s April-June period. Total revenue, which also includes Google’s cloud-hosting service and device sales, climbed 34% from last year. Google’s YouTube video site remains one of the company’s fastest rising stars, with ad revenue increasing 49% from last year to $6 billion.
