April 25, 2005 First Quarter FinancialsOrganisation: Google
Analysis and commentary by Echo Research. The headlines,
"Google earnings soar past estimates"(FT, 22/4) and the analysts' buoyant appraisal,
"The quarter was nothing short of phenomenal"(David Garrity - Caris & Co, Times, 22/4), told nearly all of Google's, alias
"the internet goliath"(sharecast.com, 25/4), recent story. Revenue doubled, profits climbed almost six-fold, there was an enthusiastic run on shares, together with dominant market share and a ticket to ride on one of the fastest growing advertising outlets.
"There's Google, and then there's everyone else"(iii.co.uk, 22/4).
The downside was … limited. Even the most prominent concern, that Google's monetary strength was based on a single revenue stream was addressed by the week's end.
"Google to test new display ad service"(FT, 25/4). For those who sought to highlight an alleged u-turn in Google's advertising policy, The Business had a curt reply:
"The most innovative and entrepreneurial companies are doing better than those that resist change or those that have gambled on a wrong strategy"(24/4).
