Goldman Sachs Analyst's Target For Google
 

2005 $265

When Goldman Sachs speaks people listen.

Heh.. yeah it's about right.

It will all fall down soon because:

1 - MSN search is there, and they will rapidly take 20-25% of the search market.

2 - Google appears to be intentionally screwing up search results to make adwords look more attractive. Surfers are going to get very sick of the redirects, viruses, and scumware they keep getting from top 10 google sites.

... and this all assumes that someone else doesn't come up with another good search engine and promote it well.

They'd have to do more than that to really take any hits. Mind you, now that Mac has taken over as the most influential brand . . . ;)

I don't really see it all dall down soon, it could fall down a bit but I doubt even that will happen soon

When Microsoft is really ready to push that search you will start seeing a HARD push for some new microsoft OS or IE or something that has it bundled by default. They'll try to integrate it everywhere they can.

I bet they get more than 20-25%.

Google is huge for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that so many people are partners with them on their results.

I would guess a lot of people will become MSFT search partners as well (or drop google for them, depending on the arrangements).

Goldman Sachs analyst Anthony Noto put a 265 dollar target on the stock, raised his 2005 earnings estimates for the company by about 25 percent.

"We recommend investors buy Google shares," Noto wrote.


This was released like 20 hours ago.

When did MSFT officially launch it's search engine again?

Analysts are funny. :upsidedow

The same Goldman Sachs analyst that recommended all kinds of bullshit IT stocks a few years ago? Analysts suck. I can make that earnings estimate myself by reading TEXT and using my BRAIN.
