Google continued to dazzle Wall Street in its third quarter as a publicly traded company, blowing past analysts' estimates after the close on Thursday.
Google's net income soared 477% in the first quarter to $369.2 million, or $1.29 a share — a stunning 37 cents a share more than analysts were expecting — and net revenue of $794 million beat $729.8 million forecasts.
"This was a very strong quarter for Google," CEO Eric Schmidt said in a statement. "We continue to execute well, and we have been able to take full advantage of the growth in online advertising."
Shares of Google jumped 6% in after-hours trading, approaching the stock's all-time high of $216.80 a share.
Stocks soared during Thursday's trading session, with the Dow and S&P posting their best gains in two years after strong manufacturing and jobs data eased fears of an economic slowdown. Comments from Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan dismissing "stagflation" concerns added to the gains, as did strong earnings from technology companies. Google Answers: Falling Trees::
