What stands out

CNBC’s MacKenzie Sigalos zeroes in on Google Cloud as the number-one thing Wall Street will be watching when Alphabet reports third-quarter results, laying out the growth expectations and which Cloud metrics, revenue growth and margins, could shift the quarter’s narrative. The clip matters because Cloud has moved from a growth story to a proof point: if Cloud revenue acceleration and margin improvement show up, they will validate the company’s investment cadence; if they miss, analysts will likely reprice near-term profitability expectations.
