Google's parent Alphabet on Wednesday (July 23) raised the amount it expects to spend on capital projects for this year and forecasted even higher spending in 2026. Alphabet raised its projected capital expenditures to $85 billion in 2025.

After the Dow brought in more than 500 points and the S&P notched a new record high, a ton of big-name companies reported earnings after the close.

Alphabet Inc. delivered a strong quarter, beating expectations on all fronts, yet the market fixates on $85B capex and misses the underlying quality and growth. I see Alphabet as a rare value: robust cash flow, accelerating cloud and YouTube profitability, and a fortress balance sheet, all trading at a discount. The market's anxiety over high capex is misplaced—these are strategic AI infrastructure investments, not reckless spending, and protect long-term competitiveness.

Alphabet said Wednesday it will spend $85 billion in capital expenditures in 2025 — up from the $75 billion it said it would at the beginning of the year. The increase comes as the company tries to get more infrastructure to meet a backlog of customers for its cloud services.

While the top- and bottom-line numbers for Alphabet (GOOGL) give a sense of how the business performed in the quarter ended June 2025, it could be worth looking at how some of its key metrics compare to Wall Street estimates and year-ago values.
