Write House News | Google Glum, Microsoft Miserable | Companies Bemoan ‘Poor Profits’

You would think that Google would be ecstatic with a 16% increase in profits over the last 12 months, particularly in the grip of an economic recession. Well apparently not, finance analysts for the technology giant are bemoaning a shortfall in profits despite making $9.7 billion (£6.4 billion).

Write House founder and copywriter, Daniel Waldron, comments: “Well it’s just staggering there are companies that would give anything to still be in existence, to bemoan profits of $9.4 billion signifies one thing only, greed.”

Microsoft followed suit, bemoaning its own shortfall in profits despite raking in $4.5 billion during the second quarter.

Write House understands that both companies have experienced a fall in share value of about 4% as a result of the profit announcements.

Despite Google’s profits experiencing a 16% increase, the company was disappointed to miss out on predicted profits forecast by analysts.

The catalyst behind Google’s profits – advertising revenue - was also up by 15%.
In a statement from Google Chief Executive, Larry Page, he said: “As we adapt to mobile advertising our bottom line as suffered a hit.”

In an official statement from Write House founder and copywriter, Daniel Waldron, he said: “The opportunity to make billions does not present itself to everyone and I think it’s a little short-sighted of two globally recognised companies to publicly moan about a shortfall in ‘profits’ when just $1 billion of that money could solve a number of the world’s issues, in my opinion it’s disgraceful.”
