"Before 2024, Alphabet's Q1 net income bounced between $14 billion and $17 billion for years. It is only in the past couple years that its profitability has cranked up to an entirely different level."

"For a sense of comparison, Google's 'other income' segment enjoyed a $37.7 billion gain, 'primarily the result of net unrealized gains on our nonmarketable equity securities.'"
