Google’s Q3 Earnings Propels Tech-Sector Optimism

Jason Parker's Internet Marketing Show

Earlier this week IBM and Intel posted earnings which was better than expected giving hints of a positive trend in the technology sector, and Google’s announcement of a surprisingly strong quarterly earnings made a lot of people look forward to the speedy recovery of the tech industry.

Google’s 7 percent revenue increase over the same period last year is giving the tech industry a sustained outlook improvement. It added to the optimistic sentiment started by IBM and Intel when the two tech companies released their earnings report. IBM reported a profit of $3.21 billion for the third quarter while Intel registered a net income of $1.9 billion.

Google’s positive outlook on the economy and its ability to meet its near-term forecast is giving the company enough confidence to plan for new acquisitions. Google’s CEO, Eric Schmidt, said that they are now looking for both large and small candidates across a wide variety of services, including those with functions related to its core business. They are also on the look-out for companies who are into industry-specific applications, web-browsing technologies and analytics, added Mr. Schmidt.

These positive developments allowed tech-heavy Nasdaq to enjoy a gain of more than 70 percent from its March lows. Some analyst said that it is now safe to say that stock prices had been moving higher in anticipation of a recovery in the tech sector earnings.

It seems that the technology and related industries will head the recovery of the economy. What’s your opinion about this? Put your comments here.
