In August 2004, Google stock prices started out at only $85 per share. That time many analysts debated whether or not Google was really worth it.
So much of Google’s value was intellectual property as opposed to real property and the market was not used to the idea that internet companies could be so valuable.
Long story short, there is absolutely no reason to debate about this anymore, since Google stock price is 5 times its initial value and 5 years later the company has the market value of $175 billion dollars.
Can you imagine, Google stock price rose to over $100 in the first day and even doubled within 3 months and that is absolutely impressive.
Analysts still debate the value of the company but it is more a matter of how much more it will grow and how quickly. Many investors in the Australian stock market also join in this debate.
Obviously the early growth was unrealistic and unsustainable, but over the past few years the company has settled into a more traditional growth pattern with exception of the recession which has been detrimental to the entire tech sector and the entire marketplace.
Investors has sown that they are very confident with Google company, eventhough there is no stock comes with guarantee, but Google seems will not likely to significally lose value, at least not relative to the market as a whole.
