Google in Five Bullets

I so dig these super-short summaries of quarterly earnings reports. Here is JP Morgan on tonight’s Google results:

  • *  Pro forma EPS totaled $6.79. This was slightly below our $6.85 estimate.

  • *  Net revenue grew 13% sequentially. This was slightly below our expectation for 17% Q/Q growth.

  • *  Paid clicks grew 13% Y/Y. This was slightly lower than our estimate for 16% Y/Y growth. CPC improvements were roughly in-line with our expectations.

  • *  US revenue was up 11% Y/Y. This was slightly ahead of our estimate calling for 9% Y/Y growth.

  • *  EBITDA margin came in at 63.1%. This was well ahead of our expectation for 61.9%

My take: Overall solid, but not a blow-out, and more than reflected in the stock.
