Google will be one of the highlights of the current earnings season. The company’s rapid growth has seen the firm diversify into driverless cars, robots, music streaming and broadband and the list goes on.

Saxo Bank’s Head of Equity Strategy, Peter Garnry says: “Google's revenue growth is declining and the company has missed earnings estimates in the last two quarters. The share price was down 3.7% following the previous earnings releases. We are more negative on Google than consensus and believe the company could disappoint again”
