Google parent's profit slips as growth slows

SAN FRANCISCO, California: Google parent Alphabet reported on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) that its profit and revenue slipped in the second quarter as the internet giant's long sizzling advertisement revenue growth cooled, but the market seemed relieved the news wasn't worse.

Big technology firms are grappling with multiple problems, from inflation to the war in Ukraine, and results in general for the quarter have not been great so far.
