Alphabet's first-quarter update highlighted better-than-expected revenue growth of $90.2 billion, surpassing analyst estimates. However, more critical insights emerged during the earnings call regarding the potential impacts of tariffs. Despite concerns over tariff policies, Google’s Chief Business Officer, Philipp Schindler, suggested that their Ads business might only experience slight disruptions in 2025 due to changes in U.S.-China trade policies. This nuanced understanding of the macroeconomic landscape provides investors with reason for optimism beyond the quarterly performance numbers.
...Schindler mentioned President Trump's decision to close the de minimis exemption of tariffs on Chinese imports... only 'cause a slight headwind to our Ads business in 2025...'
Before the Q1 update, Alphabet stock was down roughly 16% year to date... primarily due to worries about the negative impacts of the Trump administration's tariffs.
