Alphabet Inc is expected to report earnings on Monday 29 April 2019. Many people doesn`t know what Alphabet Inc is, but the all know what Google is. On August 10, 2015, Google Inc announced plans to create a new public holding company called Alphabet Inc.
Alphabet would be created to restructure Google by moving subsidiaries from Google to Alphabet, narrowing Google`s scope. The company would consist of Google as well as other businesses including X, Capital G, GV, Sundar Pichai and so on.
When Larry Page announced his plans to create the new holding company he described the planned holding company as follows;
Alphabet is mostly a collection of companies. The largest of which, of course, is Google. This newer Google is a bit slimmed down, with the companies that are pretty far afield of our main internet products contained in Alphabet instead. Fundamentally, we believe his allows us more management scale, as we can run things independently that aren`t very related.
The FANG stocks have mixed results since the last earnings. Facebook is up 11%, while Amazon is down 4% and Netflix is down 2%. What about Alphabet on Monday?
They have a great momentum and can beat earnings expectations also this time. Alphabet Inc were beating Wall Streets earnings consensus in all four quarters last year. alphabet Class A and C shares is up 15,5% and 15,4% last 12 months. Thats nearly twice as much as the S&P 500.
In Q4 last year, revenue grew 21,5% to $39,28 billion and EPS skyrocketed 31,6% to $12,77.
The reported earnings will be negative effected by a 1,5 billion euro, or $1,7 billion, fine imposed by the European Commission earlier this year. The European Commission said that Google engaged in anticompetitive practices related to agreements it had in place with Adsense for Search Partners.
Expect Google to appeal the ruling as it has done is similar cases.
Googles ad business is important for Alphabet Inc. It accounts for about 83% of Alphabets total revenue. But that will change very soon because they will earn money from other growth businesses like Vaymo and Google Cloud, their hardware and Google Play.
In January this year, they said in their press release that they will build «the world`s first factory 100% dedicated to the mass production of L4 autonomous vehicles.» L4 vehicle is a vehicle that can drive itself, and to reach that goal they have partnered with Magna International.
Waymos self-drivning systems into vehicles will include the Jaguar I-Pace. Thats something to really look forward to.
Alphabet Inc will report earnings on Monday 29 April after market close.
