Google shares tumble as results are diappointed investors.
Analysts were expecting earnings of $4.74 a share instead they came in at $4.63. Investors are used to google results blowing past estimates. As as result, google stocks were down more than 10% at one point. They have recovered to $492 (-7.77%) as of 6:00 pm.

Despite the disappointing second-quarter report, Citigroup remains positive on Google.

"Google's underlying fundamentals are intrinsically strong," analyst Mark Mahaney wrote. "We'd be buyers on this pullback."

Mr. Mahaney noted that operating margin came in "modestly light" but that Google showed strength in revenue from its partner sites and licensing.
