Alphabet Inc. (NASDQ:GOOG, GOOGL) reported its second quarter results on Thurday, July 28th. Both revenues and EPS beat the market expectations, driven by strong advertising sales. While the revenues grew by over 21% to $21.50 billion year over year, non-GAAP earnings per share grew to $8.42.  The primary reason for ads revenue growth was the strength in mobile ads and increased display ads on YouTube. This trend is expected to continue in the coming quarters, and Google will continue to post robust growth. Other bets, which are in pre-revenue stage, continued to report losses. This is expected to continue in the future as the company undertakes significant investment, especially in the fiber business. A summary of its results is as follows:
