Alphabet-Owned YouTube Ad Sales Hit a Record $11.06 Billion. Is YouTube Dangerously Close to Surpassing Netflix in Revenue?
Yahoo Finance ·
Alphabet’s ( GOOG -6.88% ) ( GOOGL -7.12% ) YouTube has long been the leading user-created video platform, but the Google parent is so big that YouTube doesn’t get the same level of attention it would if it were a standalone company. After all, YouTube makes up less than 10% of Alphabet’s revenue, and it pales in comparison to the massive Google Search business. However, in the video entertainment arena, YouTube is a giant in its own right, and Netflix has long considered it its chief rival. YouTube just topped $10 billion in ad revenue in the second quarter for the first time ever, bringing in $11.1 billion in ad revenue, which doesn’t include subscriptions for YouTube Premium tiers. At that level, YouTube is not far behind Netflix, which brought in $12.6 billion in total revenue in the second quarter.

Alphabet's subsidiary YouTube recorded a record-breaking $11.06 billion in Q2 advertising revenue. This figure excludes subscription revenue from YouTube Premium, closely chasing Netflix's total Q2 revenue of $12.6 billion. YouTube's independent media platform value, previously overshadowed by its search business, is being actively revalued. Investors should pay attention to the changing competitive landscape with traditional streaming giant Netflix.
