Summary
<p>Google parent Alphabet posted fourth-quarter revenue that missed analysts’ expectations as growth in its cloud business slowed. The shares fell more than 8%. Sales, excluding partner payouts, were $81.6 billion, Alphabet said Tuesday in a statement. Analysts had projected $82.8 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The company also projected $75 billion in 2025 capital expenditures, far exceeding the $57.9 billion that analysts expected, related to a buildout of data centers and infrastructure for artificial intelligence. That led to a more than 6% boost in Broadcom shares.</p> <p>For reaction and analysis just after earnings crossed, hosts Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec spoke with Bloomberg Intelligence senior technology analyst Mandeep Singh and Bloomberg Technology co-host Caroline Hyde.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
