The company's portfolio spans premium digital real estate (REA Group in Australia, Move Inc./realtor.com in the U.S.), news media (The Wall Street Journal, New York Post, The Times of London, The Australian), book publishing (HarperCollins), and subscription video (Foxtel in Australia).

About

Alphabet is the parent company of Google, YouTube, Waymo, DeepMind, Google Cloud, and Other Bets, generating $350.0 billion in total revenues for FY2024—a 14% increase year-over-year—driven by Search advertising, YouTube, and Google Cloud Platform. CEO Sundar Pichai oversees the company's comprehensive integration of artificial intelligence across every product surface, anchored by the Gemini family of multimodal foundation models released in 2023 and continuously upgraded through 2024-2025.
