Today marks the 10th anniversary of Google’s initial public offering. I kept the newspaper from that day, the San Jose Mercury News, and I distinctly remember Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak (of all people…….) loudly proclaming how overpriced Google was. Anyway…….
+ The company has increased over ten-fold in value since the IPO;
+ The stock has never been below its IPO price;
+ There are 52,000 workers at Google now, a twenty-fold increase from the IPO;
+ The firm has gobbled up over 250 smaller companies over the past decade;
+ Only two companies on thet planet – Apple and Exxon – are worth more
Congratulations, Googlers!
