On October 29, quotes from Bitget show that Alphabet, the parent company of Google, plummeted upon the opening of the US stock market, with the decline now widening to 13%, marking its largest single-day drop in history and erasing over $500 billion in market capitalization compared to the previous trading day's close.

Third-quarter revenue came in at $127.58 billion, a 25% year-over-year increase, falling short of the market expectation of $127.91 billion; adjusted earnings per share were $2.67, below the anticipated $2.97. Google Cloud revenue surged 103% year-over-year to $30.71 billion, yet the core advertising business underperformed, and free cash flow posted a net outflow of $9.07 billion. Markets worry that as AI-related expenditures continue to climb, the deceleration in search advertising growth could further squeeze profitability and cash flows.
