You're confusing numbers. The estimate you're looking at is ex Traffic Acquisition Costs.

For reference, last quarter gross revenue was around $1.6 b, but revenue ex -TAC was a little over $1 b. The ex-TAC number is the one you need to pay attention to.

setting the bar low so it can be beat.

Why is the revenue estimate so low? Only $1.29 billion? Do I have that right?

the revenue bar isn't low. Last quarter they brought in 1.1 billion, but these numbers net out the money they paid to partners in TAC payouts.

When I looked at the estimates a few weeks ago I decided revenue estimates were pretty goog but earnings seemed to lowball. Expenses could have gone up a huge amount though.
