Google Poised to Ride Hot Ad Market to a Record Quarter
Alphabet Google is expected to report historic sales growth in the third quarter, as smaller businesses pour money into digital ads in pursuit of customers whose purchases have shifted online. Much of that windfall has flowed to Google, which has a dominant share of world-wide internet searches, digital navigation and online video viewership. On Tuesday, Google’s businesses—Search, Maps and YouTube—are expected to fuel record sales of $63.53 billion and profit of $16.20 billion for the July-September period, according to analysts surveyed by FactSet.
