Quoting
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Google(GOOG_) shares are rocketing in after-hours trading after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and issued a 2-for-1 stock split.
Google reported first-quarter earnings of $10.08 a share on revenue of $8.14 billion, excluding traffic acquisition costs (TAC). Total revenue came in at $10.65 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected revenue of $8.146 billion, excluding traffic acquisition costs, and earnings of $9.65 a share. Wall Street typically excludes TAC costs from its estimates.
CEO Larry Page struck a positive note on the quarter in the press release discussing the results. "Google had another great quarter with revenues up 24% year on year. We also saw tremendous
momentum from the big bets we've made in products like Android, Chrome and YouTube," he explained. "We are still at the very early stages of what technology can do to improve people's lives and we have enormous opportunities ahead. It is a very exciting time to be at Google."
The company said cost-per-click, (CPC), a key metric, fell approximately 12% from the first quarter of 2011 and decreased approximately 6% from the fourth quarter of 2011.
Google also announced that it would be creating a new class of stock, effectively issuing a stock split that is "designed to preserve the corporate structure that has allowed Google to remain focused on the long term."
As of March 31, Google had $49.3 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities. It had 33,077 full-time employees, up from 32,467 full-time employees in the prior quarter.
Google shares are moving higher in extended trading, up 1.4% to $660, according to
Nasdaq .com. The company's shares finished the regular trading session up 2.37% to close at $651.01.

Source: Google Earns $2 Per Handset; Apple, $575 - Slashdot
Quoting
"While Apple generates more than $575 in profit for every iOS device, and according to estimates in 2007 Apple earned more than $800 on every iPhone sold through ATT, Horace Dediu reports that Android generated less than $550m in revenues for Google between 2008 and the end of 2011, earning only $1.70 per year, per Android device — explaining how Apple is sucking up two thirds of the profit in the mobile phone business. Dediu's starting point is a settlement offer Google made to Oracle of $2.8 million and 0.515% of Android revenues on an ongoing
basis . His assumption is that those numbers represent Google's revenue from Android to date.
'If this is the case,' writes Dediu, 'We have a significant breakthrough in understanding the economics of Android and the overall mobile platform strategy of Google.' Of course profitability is not the only reason Google is in the mobile phone business. '
P&L considerations were not the only (or even at all) factors in investment for Google. Having a hedge against hegemony of potential rivals, having a means to learn and develop new business and having a role in defining the post-PC computing paradigm are all probably bigger considerations than profitability,' writes Dediu.
'My take is that [Android] is not a bad business. But it's also not a great one.'"
