Canaccord Genuity initiates coverage on Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) with a Buy. PT $725.00.

Canaccord analyst, Michael Graham, said, "Google STILL offers stable exposure to the most durable trends in tech: Internet usage, online advertising and commerce, smart phone penetration, mobile commerce, and social networking. We expect strong growth and profitability, and believe this will warrant a stable or higher multiple, especially if mobile monetization improves."

"We believe Display will be strong, helped by YouTube’s “Channels” redesign. This, combined with potential upside from Google+, should help Display against the threat of Facebook’s IPO funding."
