What time is Google earnings in my time zone?

The October 28 report falls before US daylight saving time ends on November 1, so New York is on EDT (UTC−4) and Beijing is 12 hours ahead. The UK has already moved to GMT.

New York (EDT): results after 4:00 p.m. on Wed Oct 28; call at 4:30 p.m.
London (GMT): results after 8:00 p.m. on Wed Oct 28; call at 8:30 p.m.
Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore (UTC+8): results after 4:00 a.m. on Thu Oct 29; call at 4:30 a.m.
Tokyo, Seoul (UTC+9): results after 5:00 a.m. on Thu Oct 29; call at 5:30 a.m.

Alphabet's early-February report (Q4) falls on US standard time, when Beijing is 13 hours ahead of New York.

What is Alphabet expected to report for Q3 2026?

Alphabet does not guide revenue, so the main numbers come from analysts. Those tracked by Yahoo Finance expect revenue of $127.83 billion, up about 25% from a year earlier, and EPS of $3.00; Zacks puts Google Cloud revenue at $29.16 billion, which would nearly double year over year. A consensus from a named provider such as LSEG will be added before the report.

The forward number Alphabet does give is capital spending. On July 22 it raised its 2026 capex guidance to $195 billion to $205 billion, from $180 billion to $190 billion, and said 2027 capex would increase significantly (Reuters via Yahoo Finance).

Capex: $44.9 billion in Q2 2026 alone; any further raise to the 2026 range
Search and YouTube ads: misses on advertising have preceded several of Alphabet's post-earnings drops

What did Alphabet report last quarter?

On July 22, 2026, Alphabet reported Q2 2026 (April–June 2026) revenue of $119.80 billion against the $116.93 billion LSEG estimate. Diluted EPS was $9.11, but $6.26 of that came from a $99.0 billion gain on equity investments; excluding it, EPS was about $2.85, slightly below the $2.89 expected (Alphabet Q2 2026 release).

Google Cloud revenue: $24.77 billion, up 81.8%
Capital expenditures: $44.9 billion in the quarter
2026 capex guidance: raised to $195–205 billion

GOOGL closed at $317.69 the next day, down 7.13%, as the capex increase outweighed the Cloud beat.

How did GOOGL trade on MEXC after the last report?

MEXC's Alphabet perpetual futures contract, GOOGLSTOCK_USDT (displayed as GOOGL_USDT, 1 contract = 0.01 GOOGL), trades 24/7. After the Q2 2026 release it fell straight away, steadied overnight and fell further after the US open.

4:00 p.m. ET, Jul 22 (US close): 342.58 USDT
5:00 p.m. ET, Jul 22 (5:00 a.m. Beijing): 329.56 USDT, down 3.80%
3:00 a.m. ET, Jul 23 (3:00 p.m. Beijing): 333.06 USDT, down 2.78%
9:00 a.m. ET, Jul 23 (30 minutes before the US open): 325.25 USDT, down 5.06%
10:00 a.m. ET, Jul 23 (30 minutes after the open): 321.40 USDT, down 6.18%

The first hour pointed the right way, but by Beijing afternoon the contract had recovered part of the drop and showed less than half of the stock's eventual 7.13% fall. 24/7 trading lets you place orders outside US market hours, but it does not mean prices are discovered around the clock: liquidity is thinner overnight, and the contract can still gap when the cash market opens.
