ACHIEVEMENTS YET TO COME:
Google's Best Achievements 'Still To Come'
Bear Stearns said first-quarter results recently announced by Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ) were "tremendous" and said the best is yet to come for the Internet search giant. "We continue to believe that the current state of search, ecommerce, and the Internet are merely in the nascent stage of their transfiguration, which should benefit Google," said Bear Stearns. "While we are impressed with the achievements that Google has amassed over the last several quarters, ironically, some of the best is probably still to come." Google posted pro forma earnings-per-share of $1.29 and revenue of $794 million, compared with consensus forecasts for earnings of 92 cents on revenue of $731 million. With first-quarter revenue growth of 109% on a year-over-year basis, the company "is putting the 'hyper' back into the 'hyper growth' Internet sector," said Bear Stearns. "Google, along with Yahoo! (nasdaq: YHOO - news - people ), is clearly spearheading the way for growth investors in this space." Bear Stearns raised its year-end price target for Google to $230 from $190 but maintained a "peer perform" rating given the recent surge in share price following first-quarter results. "It is hard to deny that Google has put up a string of tremendous results, including the first quarter. Furthermore, it's difficult to ascertain the additional growth that Google may see from its currently non-monetized endeavors," said Bear Stearns. The research firm raised its second-quarter and 2005 earnings-per-share estimates to $1.31 and $5.71, respectively, from 96 cents and $4.35; second-quarter and 2005 revenue forecasts were lifted to $860 million and $3.7 billion, respectively, from $778 million and $3.4 billion.
