Google’s parent reported surging profit on slightly slower growth in revenue, signaling uncertainty in its core business at a time when it is also dealing with a growing backlash from regulators and turmoil in its own corporate culture.

Alphabet Inc. on Thursday said net profit jumped nearly 37% to $9.19 billion in the three months through September, from $6.7 billion in the same period last year. That growth surpassed analysts’ estimates.
