Q.12. Read the given text and answer the following questions: 12

Google has retaken the role of superstar of the tech sector with a stunning stock rally as
rival Apple flounders. Google has hit fresh all-time highs in recent weeks, and closed Friday
at $831.52, capping a nearly tenfold rise from its public offering price in 2004 of $85. The
stock is up about 17 percent so far in 2013. Part of the explanation comes from the rise of
its Android mobile operating system, at the expense of Apple. Android is free but gives
Google the opportunity to deliver more services and ads to users.
The negativity that is surrounding Apple at the moment is giving positivity to Google.
Apple, which traded as high as $700 last year, has slumped more than 35 percent and ended
Friday at $431.67. For Google, there’s a lot going forward at the moment, Milanesi, an
analyst told AFP, noting that the company is successfully getting consumers into their
ecosystem. Google now appears poised to beat Apple to the symbolic level of a $1,000
share price, say some analysts. Analysts at Jefferies said Google set a price target for Google
at $1,000, saying it has been benefiting from a wide range of services beyond its traditional
Web search ads, including shopping and mobile ads.
Google looks well positioned for growth with the number one market share in large, rapidly
growing markets. Google remains the top Internet search engine and leading advertising
platform. Android now has a 70 percent share of the smart phone market, which ensures
that Google retains a large share of the mobile search market.
Another reason that investors are excited about Google’s stock is the fact that more than 50
percent of its revenues are generated from markets outside the United States. This means
that Google’s revenues have ample exposure to Asia, Africa and Latin America, all of which
are expected to grow at an accelerated pace over the next few years. A shift to the Mobile
Internet is positive for Google, which is also producing its own hardware, including smart
phones and tablets. We are more constructive (less fearful) on Google’s ability to maintain
strong growth during the mobile usage shift and we see opportunity for revenue
acceleration.
Google has been able to tweak its Ad Words software, which delivers commercial messages
based on a user’s profile, to squeeze more revenues from mobile than it has until now,
analysts say. Google is also starting to see potential for YouTube, the video sharing service
that has produced little revenue until now. The Mountain View, California company has
been working on other projects, including its own high-end Chrome book Pixel laptop
computer and Google Glass, the wearable device expected later this year.

(a) Suggest a suitable title of the above text.

(b) Why the prospects of Google share prices are high?

(c) What is the geographical structure of Google’s market share and how
does it effect?
(d) How do you see future of Google?
