Alphabet reported a strong first quarter with revenues up 22% to $109.9 billion, beating analyst expectations and marking 11 consecutive quarters of double-digit growth. The company also raised its quarterly dividend by 5% to $0.22 per share, signaling confidence in its cash flow. Meanwhile, Meta beat Q1 earnings estimates but issued weak guidance and increased its capital expenditure forecast, causing its shares to drop 8% in premarket trading. These results highlight divergent outlooks among major tech firms as investors weigh growth prospects and spending plans.
