Missing figures stay unavailable. Forward P/E requires a dated source. Annual revenue, revenue growth, net income and margin come from each company's own 10-K, in US dollars, and each row shows that fiscal year. Revenue growth compares the fiscal year with the prior year stated in the same 10-K. Net income is the full year amount attributable to the company, or available to common stockholders where the filing states only that, or consolidated net income. Each row names its basis. Trailing P/E reads "Not meaningful" when the dated trailing diluted EPS is a loss or zero. An operating margin appears only when the filing states both the operating income and the revenue for the same year.
Sources: SEC filings, Gloria daily closes and CoinGecko. Oldest record refresh: Oct 29, 2026, 12:56 PM EDT. Refresh is not a price or filing date. Each row shows its price date and its annual fiscal period. Peers use industry code and company size, or editorial selection. Market cap multiplies that row price by the company share total the latest SEC filing states for every share class together. Trailing P/E divides it by trailing diluted earnings from SEC filings. Rolled earnings per share are approximate because share counts can change between periods. Both appear only when the SEC data carries its date, so they are estimates at one price date, not synchronized filing valuations. Not investment advice.

One company just moved the needle on an entire country’s foreign investment statistics. Alphabet’s massive data center and AI hub announcement pushed India’s foreign direct investment inflows up 44% to $39 billion in 2025, according to the UN Conference on Trade and Development’s World Investment Report 2026.
The project, a $15 billion commitment unveiled on October 14, 2025, represents Google’s largest single investment in India. It’s centered on a data center campus in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, and includes gigawatt-scale computing capabilities, new subsea cables, and upgraded energy infrastructure.
A single deal that rewrites the scoreboard
Here’s the thing about India’s FDI story: strip out the Alphabet deal, and the picture looks considerably less rosy. UNCTAD’s report flagged a decline in traditional greenfield investments, the kind of ground-up factory and facility projects that typically signal broad-based economic confidence.
That $15 billion figure is roughly 38% of India’s total $39 billion in FDI inflows for the year. When a single announcement accounts for more than a third of a nation’s foreign investment, it says more about the concentration of capital flows than it does about widespread investor enthusiasm.
The project aligns with India’s Viksit Bharat 2047 vision, the government’s long-term blueprint for transforming the country into a developed nation by the centenary of independence.

What this means for crypto and Web3 infrastructure
Google Cloud has been quietly building out its Web3 toolkit for years. The platform offers Blockchain Node Engine and maintains public datasets for chains including Polygon and Solana, making it easier for developers to build on those networks without running their own infrastructure.
The global AI investment pivot and its ripple effects
UNCTAD’s broader finding is that global capital is rotating hard into AI-related investments, often at the expense of traditional manufacturing and greenfield projects. This pattern isn’t unique to India. Developing economies worldwide are seeing a similar dynamic where headline FDI numbers can look strong while the underlying composition shifts toward fewer, larger tech-driven deals.
The risk, of course, is concentration. When one company’s capital allocation decision can swing a country’s FDI numbers by 44%, it raises questions about sustainability. If Alphabet delays or scales back the Visakhapatnam project, India’s investment narrative changes overnight. And the decline in greenfield investments that UNCTAD flagged suggests that beyond the mega-deals, the appetite for deploying capital into India’s economy isn’t as strong as the headline number implies.
