Google Economics: Bad Quarter Hid Good News

So earnings were off, revenue still rose

It's good to see revenue

It's good to see revenue still up

EPS is Only 1 Key Measure of Success

Maybe it's time for investors to go back and start looking at all of the fundamental metrics of a company and quit relying solely on financial analysts projections for EPS.  I realize this takes a bit of work on the investors part but do you really want to rely solely on an MBA grad with 5 years of experience in order to make your investment decisions?

All investors should follow at least the basic metrics of any company in which they invest:

Revenue Growth

Market Share Growth

Expenses, including R&D for companies like Google, and when that R&D is expected to pay off

All of the above compared to the company's industry as well as compared to other investment options will give a much more complete picture to investors vs. just following the herd lead by an analyst or two.

 

harsh climate

I guess we should all be looking for business models and markets that thrive in a harsh economic climate right now.
