Google's stock fell 3.31% after its Q2 earnings report showed a slight miss on earnings per share ($2.85 vs. $2.89 expected) despite beating revenue estimates. The company also raised its capital expenditure forecast to $195-$205 billion, signaling increased investment in AI amid concerns over profitability and rising costs. Additionally, Google reported negative free cash flow for the first time in over a decade and plans to lease external AI computing capacity, which may pressure margins further. These factors combined to worry investors about Google's near-term financial outlook despite strong sales.
