I'd say you could split Google into at least, cloud, ads, search and workspace (including mail).

Don't those all lose a lot of money, except ads?

All except search are paid services so you wouldn't think so.

And search would probably make more money if they could sell ad space to other companies. And by selling information on popular search terms for particular links.
