On the cost front, total expenses as a % of revenues decreased in the quarter, leading to an operating margin of 29%. Overall, the net income increased 15% y-o-y to $18.34 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s top line grew 5% y-o-y to $144.4 billion in the first half of FY 2023. It was primarily driven by higher Google advertising, Cloud, and other revenues. Notably, the revenue growth was slow in 2023 due to lower digital advertisement spending by businesses because of tough macroeconomic conditions. That said, operating expenses as a % of revenues witnessed an unfavorable increase from 71.3% to 72.8%. It resulted in a net income of $33.4 billion \u2013 up 3% y-o-y.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, we expect the growth rate of Google advertising to remain under pressure in Q3 due to economic concerns, However, Google Cloud is likely to maintain its growth momentum. Notably, consensus estimates of Q3 revenues and earnings are $74.7 billion and $1.36 respectively.
