Alphabet Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2015 Results

  Interesting note: they just surpassed Apple in market cap, so are now the most valuable (publicly-traded) company in the world. We'll see if it lasts, but it's a notable accomplishment even if not.

    Alphabet has a crazy P/E. I'm not really sure why either, I guess momentum?

    Their revenue per employee is just over half of Apple's. $1.1 million compared to $2.0 million.

      And their total revenue is just a bit over over Apple's profits (21B vs 18B (granted, that's Apple's big quarter of the year)), at a roughly similar margin.

    I'm seeing AAPL at 540 and GOOG at 517, which leaves Apple on top for now. That said its a good report for them. Interesting note from the Register[1] that according to Oracle's attorneys they earned $31B from Android over 5 years (so call it $6B/year) which is much better than I expected.

      The after-hours trading is what puts GOOG over. Up $38+ as of this comment.
