Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, reports quarterly earnings four times per year. Results for both GOOG (Class C shares) and GOOGL (Class A shares) are released under a single Alphabet Inc. earnings announcement. The press release typically lands between 4:00 PM and 4:30 PM Eastern Time (ET) on the reporting date, followed by a live earnings call. Below you will find the full earnings calendar, analyst estimates, call access instructions, and historical results.
GOOG vs. GOOGL: Understanding Alphabet's Two Share Classes
If you searched for "GOOG earnings date" or "GOOGL earnings date," you are looking for the same event. Both tickers represent shares of Alphabet Inc. and report under a single earnings release on the same date.
| Ticker | Share Class | Voting Rights | Listed Exchange | Earnings Reporting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GOOGL | Class A | 1 vote per share | NASDAQ | Same Alphabet Inc. release |
| GOOG | Class C | No voting rights | NASDAQ | Same Alphabet Inc. release |
Both GOOG and GOOGL report under the same Alphabet Inc. earnings release on the same date. The financial results are identical for holders of either share class.
The practical difference between the two tickers is governance, not financial performance. GOOGL shareholders receive one vote per share, while GOOG shareholders hold no voting rights. Both classes trade on NASDAQ and both reflect the same underlying business. The share class structure dates to Alphabet's 2015 corporate restructuring, when the company reorganized to create a non-voting Class C share alongside the existing voting Class A shares.
Alphabet Earnings Calendar: All Quarterly Dates for 2025
Alphabet uses a calendar fiscal year running January 1 through December 31, reporting results approximately 3 to 4 weeks after each quarter ends. Here is Alphabet's earnings schedule for 2025, including all four quarterly reporting dates.
| Quarter | Period Covered | Expected / Confirmed Date | Time (ET) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 | January – March | April 29, 2025 | 4:30 PM ET | Confirmed |
| Q2 | April – June | July 29, 2025 | 4:30 PM ET | Confirmed |
| Q3 | July – September | October 28, 2025 | ~4:30 PM ET | Estimated |
| Q4 / Full Year | October – December | Late January / early February 2026 | ~4:30 PM ET | Estimated |
Dates marked Estimated are based on Alphabet's historical reporting pattern and are subject to change when officially confirmed. Confirmed dates are sourced directly from the Alphabet Investor Relations page. Alphabet's Q1 earnings are typically reported in late April, Q2 in late July, Q3 in late October, and Q4 and full-year results in late January or early February of the following year.
Alphabet uses a standard calendar fiscal year, which differs from some Big Tech peers. Apple's fiscal year ends in September, and Microsoft's ends in June, so their quarterly reporting windows do not align precisely with Alphabet's schedule.
What Time Does Alphabet Report Earnings?
Alphabet releases its quarterly earnings after the regular U.S. stock market closes, typically between 4:00 PM and 4:30 PM Eastern Time (ET). In market terminology, this is an after-the-bell release, meaning results land after the 4:00 PM ET close of regular NYSE and NASDAQ trading sessions.
The after-hours window matters for investors because the initial stock price reaction occurs in extended-hours trading, which runs from approximately 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM ET. Volume during extended hours is lighter than regular sessions, so an initial spike or drop in the after-hours session may moderate when regular trading resumes the following morning. Investors who want to act on results before the market opens can do so through extended-hours trading in their brokerage accounts, though liquidity conditions differ from standard market hours.
The exact release time for any given quarter is confirmed on the Alphabet Investor Relations page once the earnings date is officially announced. Until then, "approximately 4:30 PM ET" reflects Alphabet's consistent historical pattern rather than a confirmed time for a specific quarter.

What Analysts Are Expecting: EPS and Revenue Estimates
Q2 2025 Analyst Consensus Estimates Non-GAAP EPS estimate: $2.01 per share Revenue estimate: $89.2 billion Year-over-year revenue growth expected: approximately 11% Source: Yahoo Finance consensus (aggregating FactSet and other provider data) as of July 2025
Wall Street analysts who cover Alphabet submit individual earnings and revenue forecasts each quarter, which data providers (FactSet, Bloomberg, Refinitiv, among others) aggregate into a consensus estimate that serves as the official benchmark for the report.
Earnings per share (EPS) measures Alphabet's net profit divided by the total number of shares outstanding. Alphabet reports two versions: GAAP EPS, calculated according to standard accounting rules, and non-GAAP (adjusted) EPS, which excludes stock-based compensation and certain other items. Analyst consensus estimates and the figures most widely reported in financial media refer to non-GAAP EPS. Revenue (Alphabet's total income from all sources before expenses) is reported both as a consolidated total and broken down by segment.
Whether Alphabet beats or misses the consensus estimate drives the initial after-hours stock reaction. A beat occurs when reported EPS or revenue exceeds the consensus figure; a miss occurs when results fall short. The size of the beat or miss relative to expectations, not the absolute figures, typically determines the magnitude of the after-hours move.
A Note for Options Traders
Traders who use earnings as a catalyst should confirm the exact date before opening positions, since implied volatility (IV) in GOOG and GOOGL options spikes in the days before the announcement and collapses sharply after results are released (a pattern known as IV crush). The earnings whisper number, an informal crowd-sourced estimate tracked by EarningsWhispers.com, often differs from the official Wall Street consensus and represents the de facto market expectation that can move the stock if beaten or missed. The options-implied move, derived from at-the-money straddle pricing, reflects the market's expectation for how much GOOG and GOOGL shares will move following the release; it is available on options platforms like Thinkorswim and IBKR, as well as on EarningsWhispers.com.
Key Metrics to Watch This Quarter
Beyond the headline EPS figure, analysts focus on segment-level performance to assess Alphabet's growth trajectory and whether AI infrastructure spending is compressing or expanding profitability.
Google Search and other advertising revenue: The "Google Search & other" line item is Alphabet's largest revenue segment, bundling revenue from Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Play, and related products. Year-over-year growth rate versus the analyst estimate is the first figure analysts assess.
Google Cloud revenue: Google Cloud (the cloud computing services segment, distinct from consumer products like Google Drive) turned profitable in 2023 and has been growing revenue at a rate analysts benchmark directly against Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. Cloud growth trajectory is the primary narrative in most quarterly previews.
YouTube advertising revenue: Alphabet discloses YouTube advertising revenue as a separate line item within Google Services. Analysts watch it as a proxy for digital video ad market health and connected TV advertising trends.
Operating margin: Operating margin (the percentage of revenue Alphabet retains as operating profit) is closely watched given the company's elevated capital expenditure on AI infrastructure. Analysts track whether margin is expanding or contracting as Alphabet invests in data centers and AI development.
Capital allocation: Alphabet regularly announces or updates share repurchase programs alongside earnings results, with buyback authorizations noted in the press release and discussed on the call. In 2024, Alphabet initiated its first quarterly cash dividend, making dividend declarations newly relevant for shareholders monitoring each report. Alphabet also reports results for Other Bets (ventures including Waymo and Verily that typically operate at a loss) as a fourth reporting segment.
Alphabet reports in the same earnings window as Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META, a key peer in digital advertising), Amazon (AMZN, whose AWS division is the market-leading cloud platform), and Apple (AAPL, which uses a different fiscal year ending in September). Analysts routinely compare segment results across all five companies, with Google Cloud growth rates benchmarked directly against AWS and Azure.
On earnings day, Alphabet's stock (GOOG and GOOGL) typically moves sharply in after-hours trading immediately following the press release, with the magnitude driven by whether results beat or missed consensus estimates on EPS and revenue (with segment-level growth rates providing additional context for the scale of the reaction).
Google Earnings History: Past Results and Stock Reactions

Historical data sourced from Yahoo Finance and publicly reported consensus figures. EPS figures are non-GAAP unless otherwise noted. After-hours reaction reflects the closing extended-hours price vs. the prior regular-session close. For formal SEC filings, see Alphabet's Form 10-Q filings on SEC EDGAR.
Alphabet has beaten consensus non-GAAP EPS estimates in seven of the last eight quarters shown above. Investors should note that the size of the beat varies substantially from quarter to quarter, and a large positive surprise in one period does not guarantee a similar outcome in the next.
What Is an Earnings Report? A Plain-Language Explainer
An earnings report is a quarterly financial disclosure that a publicly traded company releases to inform shareholders of its financial performance. Alphabet's quarterly report includes total revenue (the company's income from all sources before expenses), net income, earnings per share or EPS (Alphabet's net profit divided by shares outstanding), results broken down by business segment (Google Services, Google Cloud, and Other Bets), and forward guidance (management's outlook for the coming quarter). Alphabet files the investor-facing results as a press release, followed by a formal Form 10-Q (quarterly report) or Form 10-K (annual report) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As one of the world's most valuable companies, with a market capitalization exceeding $2 trillion, Alphabet's quarterly results can move broader market indices, not just its own stock price.
Alphabet's stock price moves on earnings day because investors compare the actual results against the analyst consensus estimate. If Alphabet reports stronger-than-expected earnings (a beat), investors may buy shares, pushing the price up. If results fall short of expectations (a miss), investors may sell, pushing the price down. This reaction typically occurs in after-hours trading (extended-hours trading between approximately 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM ET) immediately following the press release, before regular market trading resumes the next morning.
