Alphabet (GOOG) Q3 2016 Results - Earnings Call Transcript | SeekingAlpha.com: "In video, YouTube continues to shine. More than 1 billion monthly users are watching hundreds of millions of hours every single day. YouTube has become the platform of choice for major brands, with a highly engaged audience, the best formats, and industry-leading measurement tools. Recent research found that nearly half of U.S. adults between the ages of 18 and 54 say that at least once a month, YouTube helps them in making a decision about buying something. One format that's been working really well for ad prices are bumper ads, which are snackable, 6-second videos that help brands drive incremental reach and frequency. Brands like Universal Pictures have been pairing these shorter videos with their standard length ads on YouTube, and they're seeing great results, especially on mobile."--Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google, Inc.
Earnings results beat estimates. Segments: Google (revenue $22.254B vs $18.534B Y/Y, operating income $6.778B vs $5.807B Y/Y), Other Bets (revenue $197M vs $141M Y/Y, operating loss $865M vs $980M Y/Y). Stock repurchase of up to $7B of Class C capital stock authorized.
