Alphabet Inc.'s recent EPS performance has been nothing short of remarkable, with the company consistently beating analyst estimates and delivering surprise results that are significantly higher than expectations. In Q2 2026, Alphabet reported earnings per share of $9.11, comfortably beating the consensus estimate of $2.89 and surpassing the previous quarter's result by a whopping 232.5%. This trend has been consistent across the last few quarters, with EPS results beating estimates in all but one instance since Q4 2025. The magnitude of these beats is substantial, with some instances exceeding 200% above expectations.
Looking at the revenue and profitability trajectory, Alphabet's growth rate remains impressive, with revenue reaching $445.87 billion on a trailing-twelve-month basis. The company's profit margin has also been consistently high, sitting at 54.8%, while operating margins have hovered around 34%. These figures suggest that Alphabet is generating substantial profits from its operations and is well-positioned for continued growth. However, it's worth noting that the revenue growth rate has slowed down slightly in recent quarters, with a 24.2% year-over-year growth rate in Q2 2026 compared to 28.0% in Q3 2025.
