Google stock price started out at an initial public offering of just $85 per share in August of 2004. At the time analysts debated whether or not the company was worth it.
That time the market was not ready to the idea that an online companies could be very valuable. Google's value was intellectual property instead of real property.
Long story short, there is absolutely no reason to debate about this anymore, since Google stock price is 5 times its initial value and 5 years later the company has the market value of $175 billion dollars.
Can you imagine, Google stock price rose to over $100 in the first day and even doubled within 3 months and that is absolutely impressive.
Analysts still debate the value of the company but it is more a matter of how much more it will grow and how quickly. Many investors in the Australian stock market also join in this debate.
Though the early growth of the company was unsustainble and unrealistic, but over the past few years their stocks has settled into a traditional pattern growth, but with the exception of the recession which has been detrimental the entire marketplace and tech sector.
No stock comes with a guarantee, but investors have shown that they are confident that Google is a solid, reliable company that is not likely to significantly lose value, at least not relative to the market as a whole.
