Company profile • Index constituent

Alphabet

Alphabet is Google’s parent company, with entertainment exposure through YouTube and Google Play alongside search, advertising, cloud computing and other businesses.

How does YouTube fit into Alphabet?

YouTube sits within Google Services, which also includes Search, Android, Google Play and other products. It earns advertising revenue and supports paid offerings including YouTube Music and Premium, YouTube TV and NFL Sunday Ticket. Google Play adds another connection to entertainment through applications, games and in-app purchases. [1] [2]

What does the listed company include beyond video?

Alphabet reports Google Services, Google Cloud and Other Bets. Its overall results therefore combine consumer advertising and subscription platforms with cloud infrastructure and other activities. YouTube is an important entertainment business inside that portfolio, but the listed parent’s performance is not a standalone measure of YouTube. [1]

The GOOGL line follows Alphabet’s Class A shares. Alphabet is headquartered in Mountain View, California; its different share classes and its operating products should remain distinct when linking company research to Index data. [1]
