Google Raises Revenue, but Disappoints Wall Street

1 google art2 Google Raises Revenue, but Disappoints Wall Street

Google’s revenue increased through the fourth quarter of 2014, but the company still fell short of Wall Street predictions. The company’s shares wobbled after the results, with the price declining 3% in the wake of the announcement but increasing by 1.44% as the hours passed after the earnings call.


There was a revenue increase of 15% year-on-year to $18.10 billion, but Wall Street was predicting that Google would be making revenues of $18.46 billion. Google’s revenue largely comes from advertising and Android is a big part of that, even if the mobile platform does not directly make any money. Profit raised profits through Q4 to $4.76 billion from $3.38 billion over the same period the year before.
