Verdict: Partial Hit
Alphabet berichtete am 22. Juli 2026 ein GAAP-EPS von 9,11 USD – scheinbar eine massive Übererfüllung gegenüber dem Konsens von ~2,86–2,89 USD. Der Überschuss war jedoch fast ausschließlich auf einen außerordentlichen, nicht realisierten Buchgewinn von ~99 Mrd. USD auf die Anthropic-Beteiligung zurückzuführen (+6,26 USD je Aktie nach Steuern). Auf bereinigter/operativer Basis (ohne diesen Einmaleffekt) lag das adjustierte EPS bei ca. 2,62 USD – geringfügig unter dem bereinigten Konsens von ~2,63 USD (leichter Miss). Revenue und Google Cloud schlugen die Erwartungen klar (Cloud +82 % YoY statt erwarteter 63 %, Gesamtumsatz +24 % auf 119,8 Mrd. USD). Große Finanzmedienhäuser (Yahoo Finance, Seeking Alpha) verbuchten das Ergebnis dennoch als 'Beat', da sie das GAAP-EPS vs. GAAP-Konsens verglichen. Fazit: Die Vorhersage, den bereinigten Non-GAAP-EPS-Konsens zu übertreffen, traf auf GAAP-Ebene zu (massiver Effekt durch Anthropic-Buchgewinn), verfehlte aber das eigentliche Ziel – den operativen/bereinigten EPS ohne Einmaleffekte – knapp. Quellen: [SEC 8-K Earnings Release](https://s206.q4cdn.com/479360582/files/doc_news/2026/Jul/22/attachments/2026q2-alphabet-earnings-release.pdf), [Seeking Alpha](https://seekingalpha.com/news/4616900-alphabet-delivers-q2-beat-with-cloud-revenue-surging-82-capex-disappoints), [Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/alphabet-googl-beats-q2-earnings-211503282.html), [TechTimes](https://www.techtimes.com/articles/321312/20260722/alphabet-q2-earnings-cloud-revenue-not-80-billion-paper-eps-tells-story.htm)
