Google Plummets 9% on Earnings Miss

Google GOOG released its fiscal fourth quarter earnings results on Thursday after the closing bell.

This missed Wall Street analysts' consensus EPS estimates of $10.49. Revenues were $10.58 billion, without deducting traffic acquisition costs, which was a 25% increase versus last year's fourth quarter. Wall Street analysts had consensus revenue estimates of $8.41 billion heading into the report. In the after hours trading session, GOOG shares have fallen 9.45% to $579.00 as investors react to the company's bottom line miss.
