Alphabet (Google) Earnings Not As Good As Expected

Google parent Alphabet just announced its financial results for the first quarter with revenue up 17% year-over-year at $20.35 billion. Non-GAAP earnings per share were lower than expected at $7.50 (versus $7.96), and the stock is on the way down as a result. It quickly fell by as much as 8%.

Aggregate cost per click fell 9% year-over-year.

CFO Ruth Porat commented, “Our Q1 results represent a tremendous start to the year with 17% revenue growth year on year and 23% growth on a constant currency basis. We’re thoughtfully pursuing big bets and building exciting new technologies, in Google and our Other Bets, that position us well for long term growth.”
