Alphabet, Amazon and Microsoft book big Q2 gains from revaluing stakes in AI startups

AI Market Summary
Big Tech's Q2 earnings were materially lifted by mark-to-market gains on private AI stakes, highlighting a new profit channel beyond core cloud and software. Alphabet's "other income" surged (~$98B) alongside large revaluation gains at Amazon (largely Anthropic) and smaller gains at Microsoft (partly offset by OpenAI markdowns). This increases investor focus on private AI valuation volatility as an earnings swing factor.

Alphabet, Amazon and Microsoft posted large “other income” gains in 2024 second-quarter results after marking up equity stakes in AI startups such as Anthropic. Alphabet reported $98 billion, Amazon recorded $53.4 billion—mainly tied to Anthropic—and Microsoft booked a $3.2 billion gain that it said was partly offset by a decline in the value of its OpenAI stake. The accounting gains materially lifted earnings per share, showing how rising private AI valuations are feeding into Big Tech’s reported profits.
