YouTube: Sự hiện diện mạnh mẽ trên mạng xã hội của Alphabet

YouTube là một công ty con của Alphabet, một tập đoàn công nghệ với vốn hóa thị trường 1.7 nghìn tỷ đô la. Việc Google (sau này trở thành Alphabet) mua lại YouTube vào năm 2006 với giá 1.65 tỷ đô la đã trở thành một tài sản tạo ra lợi nhuận dài hạn cho Alphabet, đóng góp gần 11% vào tổng doanh thu của công ty. Trong quý 1 năm 2023, Alphabet báo cáo doanh thu tổng cộng là 69.8 tỷ đô la, tăng 3% so với cùng kỳ năm trước, với doanh thu hàng năm từ quảng cáo của YouTube đạt gần 20 tỷ đô la vào năm 2020. Việc thêm YouTube vào danh mục của Google đã mở rộng mô hình kinh doanh của công ty từ một công cụ tìm kiếm đơn thuần thành một nền tảng lưu trữ nội dung video, cho phép tạo ra các nguồn thu nhập bổ sung từ quảng cáo và nội dung trả phí của bên thứ ba. Mặc dù doanh thu quảng cáo của YouTube đã giảm trong quý 1 năm 2023, công ty vẫn là một nguồn thu lớn đáng kể cho Alphabet.

The global oil market is facing uncertainty due to the risk of recession, particularly with signals coming from China that its economy is not doing as well as expected. This has led to a downward trend in oil prices, with Brent crude trading below $76 per barrel on world markets. However, the oil slump has not had too much of a negative impact on the economy of the largest mining giants, according to Gulf Brokers. The first quarter results of Saudi Aramco, the world's largest mining company, showed a year-on-year decrease in net profit of approximately one-fifth to less than $32 billion.
