theloniouszen | Why is the price of google's stock so high compared to other stocks? |
|

the price of a certain company's stock reflects all the future earnings and cash flow in perpetuity. Google's high market multiples is due to the high growth expectations on the company and, arguably, the industry. if this does not transpire, investors will lower their earnings expectations, and therefore sell the stock, thereby lowering the stock price. |

It is a complex question. 1) Remember, a high-priced stock does not always mean a good (or even bad) investment. If Ford decides to combine their 1000 share into just one share (technically, it is called reverse split 1000:1), its share price will become $7000+ per share. That would not make Ford share any better (or worse) than its current share-price.
2)You should look at something known as Price-to-Earning (P/E) ratio. Typically, today the P/E ratio for an average stock is about 17.
3) A company that has tremendous growth potential can command a higher P/E multiple. Google has tremendous potential for earning growth and people are willing to pay a higher multiple for it...hence the share price is high (in combination with what I said) in #1 above). |

Great company that could potentially dominate the internet space and by extension our lives for years to come. |

It's a fast growing company that a lot of people like to kiss at night. It's thier best friend so they tend to treat it better than other companies with similiar financials and growth rates. It's their darling. Emotional reasons. Many people use Google personally on a daily basis and they may also earn a living from Google's Adsense program.
It is overpriced, but the company is still growing. I believe Yahoo is a better deal at current rates just by looking at thier growth rate, profits, revenues, etc.
A lot of investors in Google are not sophisticated and think investing is a game and that a stock is just some number that goes up and down and they are all counting on it goin up. I think it has gone up enough that the next several years of high growth is already built into the price of the stock. But the investors will keep buying and pushing it up for years to come regardless of the fundamentals. |

Because the word "Google" should be in the dictionary and because simply the owners wanted a high price. Why? maybe there's a certain prestige with a high price, keeps the average joe from owning the stock. If they wanted a lower price they could simply split the stock. |

Because most people are not Financial Experts.
If they like beer they buy BUD.
If they like Madonna they buy WMG.
No wonder millions of "investors" lose money in the Stock Market. |

Because there is more people interested in buying them than selling them. |

because people want growth, everyone want the piece of it, but be careful, the fundamental out of whack, if you want to trade it. REMEMBER TO PUT A STOPLOSS ORDER on your trade.
do not let google be lucent,cisco or high price stock in the tech bubble.
WHAT GO UP, MUST COME DOWN. when it comes down, it drop like a rock |

Because it's a stock that is being played out, It will only be a matter of time before another stock will take it's place. |

Google is a living reminder of the tech bubble, or dotcom bubble, of the early 2000's. It is behaving exactly the same way...
People are "turned on" by their newness, have faith in Google's ability to turn the Internet into some great haven for all the new psuedo-intellectuals in the world.
The problem is, last time I checked, they were trading at about 70 times forward earnings, which is definitely reminiscent of the dotcom bubble; they are investing heavily into rather dubious projects like seeing your house from space (big deal, really...), having online "Office" (a la Microsoft Office...) which can easily be hacked into by industrious malcontents, and basically playing catch-up with Yahoo! and msn on their feature services, like G-mail (which is reporting many problems, I understand...).
Much of their earnings from last year were made by selling off pieces of the Google empire that it had acquired from way back, like Baidu.com. Google doesn't have a lot of spin-off investments left to sell, so people are banking on their ability to keep expanding their profits by the use of another nefarious enterprise- the click-through scheme. Click-fraud is everywhere (full disclosure: I was a victim of it myself to the tune of 2 grand. Luckily, I saw the statement in one day and killed the program...) but now, Google will report to their customers how many clicks it guesses were fraudulent. How nice.
The business model is unsustainable and their profit level is unsustainable. Look for Google to be trading at around $180 near the end of the year. The options are very expensive to play but you can use "sympathy" losers (like Yahoo!- sorry...) to play put options and gain profit from the general tech train-wreck that is coming in NASDAQ.
Or, I could be wrong... |
