Google Inc. Analyst Notes 

On March 28, 2014, Google Inc. (Google) announced that it will hold its quarterly conference call to discuss Q1 2014 financial results on April 16, 2014, at 1:30 p.m. PT (4:30 p.m. ET). The search engine giant reported revenues of $16.9 billion for Q4 2013, representing an increase of 17% YoY. Google's GAAP net income during the quarter surpassed analysts' expectations at $3.4 billion versus $2.9 billion in Q4 2012. With effect from April 2, 2014, Google shares began trading under two different symbols - the Class A shares (which will trade under the ticker "GOOGL"); and the new, non-voting Class C shares (which will trade under the ticker "GOOG"), as part of the stock split program announced on January 30, 2014 during its Q4 earnings conference call. As a result of the two-for-one stock split, investors received one class-C share for each class-A and class-B shares they own. Consequently, the old stock price has been halved, and Google is now out of the $1000 stock club. The full analyst notes on Google Inc. are available to download free of charge at:

Baidu Inc. Analyst Notes 

On March 27, 2014, Baidu Inc. (Baidu) won a favorable court ruling in a lawsuit filed by some New York writers and video producers ("plaintiffs") who accused the Company of tailoring search engine algorithms to prevent users in the U.S. from viewing content advocating greater democracy in China, according to a Reuters report. According to the news report, the petitioners had sought $16 million in damages for violations of their civil and equal protection rights. However, the U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan concluded that Baidu's search results constituted protected free speech under the U.S. Constitution, warranting dismissal of the May 2011 lawsuit. Stephen Preziosi, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said his clients will appeal in a higher court. The full analyst notes on Baidu Inc. are available to download free of charge at:
