Google’s Q1 Report

Here are some things that caught my eye in Google’s newly-released Q1 report tonight:

  • EPS up 530% y-o-y, from $0.24 to $1.29 EPS (vs. $0.92 consensus)

  • Revenues up 93%, to $1.26-billion from $651-million
  • Google’s Q1 earnings are roughly what it reported in all of 2004
  • 36% of all search traffic on the Internet, up from 35% last year
  • Sales/employee of $361,000 based on 3,482 employees — or approximately the sales/employee that eBay turns in for a full year
  • These are astounding numbers, as the after-market performance of Google’s stock demonstrates tonight.
