- Over $1.07T in off-balance-sheet leases and commitments


Google Cloud revenue more than doubled year-over-year to $30.7B, but the company is fundamentally flipping its capital structure. With zero share buybacks, $29B in fresh debt, and third-party "bridging" server rentals set to squeeze Q4 Cloud margins, we unpack the real cash mechanics behind Alphabet's AI hardware pivot.
