Google announced earnings a few hours early Thursday, posting revenues and earnings below expectations. Earnings per share came in at $ 9.03, well below analysts estimates of $ 10.65. And revenue came in at $ 11.33 billion, short of estimates for $ 11.83 billion.
It’s unclear if the early announcement was a mistake, but it’s taking its toll on Google’s stock price, which is down about 8 percent.
