Google Q4 2024 Earnings Preview: Momentum Trumps Fundamentals For Further Gains
Consensus sees Alphabet's Q4 revenue at $96.69 billion, but our estimates point towards a more conservative $95.88 billion, with diluted EPS of $2.19 versus consensus of $2.12. Google Search and YouTube revenues are projected to grow at 10% and 11%, respectively in Q4, showing slower growth compared to Q3, primarily due to strong comparisons. Our projected EPS CAGR of 15.2% through to FY27 has been baked in, with further upgrades unlikely on a fundamental level if Google's pace of AI development continues to lag its competitors.
