Several analysts maintained their buy ratings ahead of the results and expect AI-driven gains to appear in its search and YouTube segments. Still, the consensus revenue estimate implies Alphabet could post its slowest year-over-year growth since the third quarter of 2023 . Analysts polled by LSEG expect Alphabet to earn $1.85 per share on $86.3 billion in revenue, implying year-over-year earnings and revenue growth of 19.1% and 12.5%, respectively. Like Sheridan, Black expects Alphabet's AI enhancements to support search and YouTube growth, as AI drives efficiency for advertisers. "While advertisers may express some concerns around consumer sentiment, GOOG Search remains a 'utility-like' component of advertiser budgets," he said.

Bottom line The main part of our AMD thesis — fast-growing sales of its MI300 AI chips — is still on track, so we view the post-earnings pullback as a buying opportunity. Given how integral these AI chips are to AMD's growth, we were pleased management on Tuesday night raised its full-year sales projections to exceeding $5 billion. Another factor: AMD's chips passed some performance milestones with customers, Su said. We believe Su's AI roadmap — outlined at its AI event earlier this month — will lead to significant sales growth in 2025 and thereafter. Quarterly commentary Sales in AMD's all-important data-center segment came in $3.55 billion, exceeding estimates and more than doubling year over year.

While brand partnerships remain the primary income source for creators, affiliate marketing is getting a "glow up" this year thanks to platforms like TikTok and YouTube, according to research-analyst Jasmine Enberg. A creator usually has several income streams, from brand partnerships to affiliate marketing to launching courses.
