Alphabet – GOOGL.O

As the parent company of Google, Alphabet has nine products that each boast at least a billion users: Android, Chrome, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Search, Google Maps, the Google Play Store, YouTube, and Google Photos.

The internet giant generates the vast majority of its revenue—around $54.5 billion of last quarter’s $69 billion—through advertising on several of the above-mentioned products. But it has also seen strong growth from its high-margin Google Cloud services segment. In addition, Alphabet consistently embraces advanced AI and new monetization avenues (most recently with the YouTube Shorts short-form video format) to drive sales and profits higher.
