Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The strong performance was driven by increased AI spending. While net income was $112.11B, this figure was inflated by a $99.03B gain on equity securities. The company's long-term debt increased from $46.5B to $98.2B, and the buyback program was suspended in Q2 2026.
