Google's stock rising even further As noted last week, Prudential Securities raised its price target for Google's stock to $200 from its previous target of $130. Well, the stock almost went to $200 yesterday, when it traded at $199.95 for a few minutes, and then it lost a bit of ground on profit taking. It closed the day at $190.64. Last week, Google reported a "blowout third quarter as net revenue growth returns to triple digit." A good chunk of this is caused by PPC advertising for businesses and e-tailors. Google said advertising accounts for well over 90% of its revenue. It also raised its fiscal 2004 earnings estimate to $2.62 from $2.22 and boosted 2005 estimates to $3.67 from $2.91. As CBS MarketWatch wrote yesterday, investors have to wonder whether many of those buying the stock near such a high price could be money managers, the very same money managers who once turned the IPO down and said they would never buy any shares. And it's not just day traders and mom-and-pop investors accumulating Google shares. Even though Wall Street veterans know that all hot IPO issues eventually come back to earth, and that Google faces long-term challenges from formidable rivals such as Microsoft and Yahoo, trading data suggests that institutions are indeed among the buyers. Personally, I find this interesting. I'm curious as to what will happen to the stock in the next few weeks. Well, that's it for today folks.
