Google Cloud's revenue doubled and its operating income tripled, yet Alphabet's shares dropped 10% in after-hours trading as investors reacted nervously, according to a report by Neowin.

Cloud growth fails to calm investors

Neowin reports that Google Cloud's revenue doubled and its operating income tripled. Even so, nervous investors pushed Alphabet's shares down 10% in after-hours trading.

The report is the only source for these figures in the material available, so the market reaction should be read as Neowin's account of the session rather than as an independently confirmed movement.
