Alphabet, the parent company of Google, is killing it right now. In just the first quarter of 2021, the tech company pulled in $55.31 billion — $3.6 billion more than expected — and a 34% increase from Q1 2020.Google’s revenue is up 34% from the same time last year. That’s a tidy $17.9 billion in profit in case you’re counting — nearly $18 million in profit for just three months. Projected out for a year, that’s more in profit than the total market cap of Honda, Kraft, Marriott, Kimberly Clark, Prudential, and Allstate Insurance.Earnings per share of $26.29 beat the market estimate of $15.82.It doesn’t get better than this in business.It helps that Google search now has a 92% market share in but still. That’s a Jake Paul vs. Nate Robinson type beat, you guys.
