In addition to growth in advertising revenues, the "other revenue" category saw significant growth in Q1, up 49%, as the company seeks to diversify how it makes money beyond digital ads. Most of those revenues come from Google's cloud services and hardware, like the Pixel phone and Google Home speaker.

As Alphabet's stock rose above $900 on Friday, analysts boosted their price targets and heaped praise on Google's growing collection of money-making products and its ability to maintain solid profit margins even as it spends heavily to beat the competition.
