Google has just released their Q4 numbers and it looks like they’ve blown away estimations.

Fourth quarter net income surged to $1.03 billion from $372 million during the same period in 2004!!

Sales (excluding payments to ad partners) grew 70%+ to $2.23 billion.

Wall Street had been expecting $2.92 per share and got $3.29.

TheStreet.com adds…

Google-owned sites generated 62% of total revenue and posted a gross revenue increase of 80% from a year ago. Google’s partner sites generated 37% of total revenue and showed 50% growth from a year ago.

Despite all that growth, the stock is taking a hammering in after-hours trading.
