Google reported a strong Q1 FY2026 with revenue up 21.79% and cloud revenue soaring 63%, driving a nearly 10% stock jump. The company’s cloud backlog hit $462 billion, signaling robust future revenue potential, while AI monetization in Search and autonomous driving via Waymo add growth avenues. Analysts set a 12-month price target of $473.24, implying 19.15% upside, though risks include high capital expenditures and regulatory scrutiny. The outlook remains bullish if cloud growth sustains and backlog converts to revenue as expected.
