I think the company will show that it’s doing quite well. According to Earnings.com, expectations peg the per-share profit at $6.43. If that number is hit, then the growth rate will be a solid 26% (last year at this time, Google made $5.10 per share). Of course, most people aren’t interested in hitting the projected stat, they want management to rise above it and demonstrate true earnings power.
Google should have a better than average chance of succeeding in that regard. Recent history is on the side of shareholders: The company beat the analysts in the third quarter. Not only that, but a lot of cash flow was generated to boot. Income is always an important metric to look at, but don’t forget the statement of cash flows, my friends. Money generation is important.
