That's up from the $48.1 billion forecast at the beginning of the quarter and $41.2 billion reported a year ago. Traffic-acquisition costs are estimated at $9.1 billion, which would give Alphabet revenue of $43.1 billion when extracted; by that standard, Alphabet reported sales of $33.7 billion a year ago . Estimize expects revenue of $42.1 billion after removing traffic-acquisition costs.</p>\n<p>Stock movement: Alphabet stock has declined following three of the past seven earnings reports. The shares are up 31% in 2021, and 80% over the past 12 months, through Wednesday's close of market. By comparison, the broader S&amp;P 500 index has gained 11% and 47%, respectively.</p>\n<p><b>What analysts are saying</b></p>\n<p>Google's good fortunes reflect a rebounding ad market and spikes in search spending, Cowen analyst John Blackledge concluded in an April 14 note that hiked the company's price target to $2,600 from $2,400, while maintaining an outperform rating.</p>\n<p>Blackledge predicts Google search revenue will jump 45%, year-over-year, up from a 28% increase in the previous quarter.</p>\n<p>J.P.
