Alphabet to Invest in Cloud, Search and AI, CFO Porat Says

The Google online search business is slowing. Search sales rose 15 percent in 2019 slower than the 22 percent pace of 2018. The stock's been on a little bit of a roller coaster this week thanks to those numbers but is still on pace to finish the week higher. I had a chance to sit down with Ruth Porat the company's CFO and we talked about how Alphabet split its advertising revenue into its three buckets for the first time . I often say that we've been on a journey and we've been expanding disclosure over time whether it was providing more insight into what's our geographic breakdown or one time run rates.
