Google’s stock price is surging, up over $80-a-share in after-hours trading. This is a huge gain of over 17 percent. The stock is back above the $500-a-share mark for the first time since the end of February.

One of the big reasons for the surge? Huge growth in international markets and paid-click numbers that proved the speculators wrong (as we have suggested multiple times).

We are on the Google call right now and will update with more information when it’s over.

    So, it wasn’t that bad after all…I wonder how many times Google will beat the analysts.

    @mircea - I think it’ll go back and forth. analyst raise expectations after a homerun, google misses, analysts lower expectations, homerun.
