GOOGL gains over 7% in after-hours trading following its Q1 results. The business beat big on revenues but missed on earnings.

Google (GOOGL - Free Report) is an advertising powerhouse, and the stay-home initiative has boosted engagement. YouTube ad revenue grew by more than 33% YoY. Google’s total ad revenue increased by more than 10% YoY. The Google Cloud grew by a whopping 52% YoY and now makes up 7% of its topline.

How much will businesses be investing in ad space moving forward? Will the company be able to maintain the same level of engagement in the coming quarter?
