(Reuters) -Google-parent Alphabet's breakout cloud sales in the July-September quarter bode well for top cloud providers Microsoft and Amazon.com, and signal that market for AI-aided computing power is only growing.
The company's stock rose 5.5% on Wednesday, a day after Alphabet posted a 35% surge in Google Cloud revenue, the fastest pace of growth in eight quarters. Analysts expected a 29% rise, according to LSEG.
