Why is Google’s share price so flat?
Barely grew by 10% YoY. How do Googlers perceive that and how worrying is it?
Welcome to the 10 flat years Microsoft had :) Generally its a signal that even though the company maybe making money, the street doesn’t have confidence in long-term vision or growth.
Well look at other FANG-ish companies: Amazon 62%, Apple 23%, Netflix 116%, Microsoft 42%, Facebook 22% (even after the data "breach").
Not that this is even flat compared to the broad market (SP500 up 13.6% YoY)
10% a year is now flat?
Of course it is. SP500 is up 13.6% YoY. “If you’re not first, you’re last, Ricky Bobby!”
Can always interview again next year they say
Passed already. Now evaluating how risky the move is.
Then TC or GTFO
Well..let’s look at PE ratio! Google is around 30ish and amazon is around 300..basically means investors are not interested in what google does/will do..google should learn to finish tasks/products better..pixel may breathe a new life, but I’m not a big fan of the direction..
No this means Amazon's earnings is artificially low
Because it’s profit margin is shrinking. New businesses they run are of lower margin as well
Its
As far as I know none of the things google had done in last 5 has picked up. They only seem to be playing a catch-up game by copying features from either Amazon or Apple. They only appear as the very cool AI company but with no good new products. Everything is past glory.
Damn twitter is up something like 100%? I thought it was dead!
Because it’s a relatively mature firm, it’s core product/source of revenue is pretty much a commodity, it doesn’t innovate anywhere near the extent that it used to, and every likely “next” primary source of revenue is either dominated by, frankly, more competitive market participants (AWS) or is years away from being entering the consumer market (Waymo, assistant devices that can make appointments for you without a fake demo)
Why do you think the demo was faked?
