The big-six tech companies grew by $18 billion in total revenue and $4.5 billion in profit last quarter

First-quarter results are in for the big-six tech companies: Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft and Netflix all saw increases in their top and bottom lines compared to the same quarter the year before, according to data from FactSet.

Combined, the companies grew by $18 billion in total year-over-year revenue and $4.5 billion in profit last quarter to generate $146 billion in total revenue and $25 billion in total profit.

Of note: Netflix — where investors usually focus on subscriber growth — saw profit jump to $178 million this quarter, up more than 500 percent from a year earlier.

Facebook’s growth isn’t slowing as fast as Wall Street expected, as the company continues to add new users and expand its mobile advertising business. Of the six, it added the most Q1 profit year over year, $1.3 billion, while Amazon added the most revenue, about $6.6 billion more than during Q1 2016.

Apple saw revenue and profit growth of nearly 5 percent — small, percentage-wise, compared to the other tech giants, but a continued reversal from its prior slump.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
